Comparative study: Impact of local versus general anesthesia on postoperative recovery in outpatient procedures

Resumo

The choice between local and general anesthesia in outpatient surgical procedures has been the subject of study and debate due to its potential impact on the postoperative recovery of patients. While local anesthesia offers advantages such as shorter recovery time and reduced respiratory complications, general anesthesia is often preferred because it ensures a state of unconsciousness during the procedure, and can influence different aspects of immediate and short-term recovery.
