Which anesthesia gives surgeons a better view during shoulder surgery?
NCT ID NCT07343414
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the type of anesthesia used during shoulder arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery) affects the surgeon's view and satisfaction. Researchers will compare general anesthesia to regional anesthesia (nerve block with sedation) in 82 adults scheduled for elective shoulder surgery. The goal is to see which method provides a clearer surgical field and better outcomes for patients, such as less pain and fewer side effects.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (aged 18 to 75 years) who are scheduled to undergo elective shoulder arthroscopy at the Sabuncuoğlu Şerefeddin Training and Research Hospital. These participants are recruited from the patient pool presenting to the Orthopedics and Traumatology clinic for surgical treatment of shoulder pathologies (rotator cuff tears or impingement). Participants include individuals with an ASA physical status of I, II, or III who are capable of providing informed consent .
