Why the study?
Ambulatory anorectal surgeries require distinct anesthetic management, prompting an evaluation of the recovery profiles of different anesthetic techniques.
Does local anesthesia improve recovery profiles compared to spinal or general anesthesia in patients undergoing ambulatory anorectal surgery?
Population
90 subjects undergoing anorectal surgery
Comparison
Spinal anesthesia vs local anesthesia vs general anesthesia

Local anesthesia shortens hospital stay in ambulatory anorectal surgery; confirms faster recovery versus spinal or general anesthesia.
Does local anesthesia improve recovery profiles compared to spinal or general anesthesia in patients undergoing ambulatory anorectal surgery?
Local anesthesia provides a significantly faster recovery profile and shorter hospital stay compared to spinal or general anesthesia for ambulatory anorectal surgery.
