Key result
A fentanyl and methohexitone technique significantly shortened immediate recovery, while anaesthesia-induced impairment in retaining new information returned to normal within 3 hours.

May facilitate quicker recovery after minor gynaecological surgery; leaves open generalizability of transient memory effects beyond this small cohort.
Does a fentanyl and methohexitone anaesthetic technique affect recovery time and memory function compared to another technique in healthy women undergoing minor gynaecological surgery?
Fentanyl and methohexitone anaesthesia provides a shorter immediate recovery period, with transient memory impairment resolving within 3 hours.
OGG et al. (1979) studied this question. A fentanyl and methohexitone technique significantly shortened immediate recovery, while anaesthesia-induced impairment in retaining new information returned to normal within 3 hours.
