First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study watches 120 women having gallbladder surgery to see if their menstrual phase or menopause changes how much anesthesia they need and how sick they feel afterward. Researchers measure anesthesia use and track nausea and vomiting after surgery. The goal is to learn more, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
The study population consists of female patients aged 18-65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-II-III who are scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Participants will be classified according to hormonal status (follicular phase, luteal phase, or postmenopausal) based on postoperative serum progesterone levels. All patients will receive standard perioperative care, and no experimental intervention will be applied.
