Key result
Desflurane anesthesia resulted in significantly higher modified Aldrete recovery scores at 10 minutes postoperatively compared to sevoflurane (9.42 vs 8.87, p=0.002) in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery.

Does desflurane improve early postoperative recovery compared to sevoflurane in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery?
Desflurane provides faster early postoperative recovery and better oxygen saturation compared to sevoflurane in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports desflurane for faster early recovery after lower abdominal surgery; extends RCT evidence on volatile anesthetics in postanesthesia care.
The aim of this study was to compare the early postoperative recovery effects between patients who were given sevoflurane or desflurane before having lower abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.

Özlem Sezen (2018) conducted an RCT in Elective lower abdominal surgery (n=80). Desflurane vs. Sevoflurane (1.3% in a 50% oxygen-air mixture) was evaluated on Modified Aldrete postanesthesia recovery score at 10 minutes (MD 0.55, p=0.002). Desflurane anesthesia resulted in significantly higher modified Aldrete recovery scores at 10 minutes postoperatively compared to sevoflurane (9.42 vs 8.87, p=0.002) in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery.
