May warrant extended post-anesthesia observation before discharge; leaves open whether technique alters mental recovery time.
Does the choice of general anaesthetic technique affect the time taken for mental efficiency recovery in patients undergoing inguinal herniorrhaphy?
Recovery of mental efficiency to a safe threshold for discharge after general anaesthesia for inguinal herniorrhaphy requires a hospital stay of 7 to 9 hours.
Simpson et al. (1976) studied this question.
