Does general anesthesia compared to regional anesthesia affect thyroid hormones and cortisol levels in patients undergoing major urological surgery?
General anesthesia induces a greater stress response, as measured by thyroid and cortisol hormone levels, compared to regional anesthesia in major urological surgery.
Baghdad Science Journal (2017) conducted an observational in Major urological surgery (n=50). General anesthesia vs. Regional anesthesia was evaluated on Thyroid hormones (T3, T4, rT3), thyrotropin (TSH), and cortisol levels. General anesthesia affected thyroid hormones, thyrotropin, and cortisol levels more than regional anesthesia in patients undergoing major urological surgery.
