Shoulder surgery showdown: which anesthesia gives the best view?
NCT ID NCT06786013
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 adults having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to see if the type of anesthesia affects how clearly the surgeon can see during the operation. One group received a nerve block (interscalene block) while awake, and the other received general anesthesia. The main goal was to measure visual clarity and blood pressure changes during surgery.
