Comparison of Postoperative Recovery Between TIVA and Inhalation Agent

In the TIVA group, general anesthesia is induced and maintained with a target-controlled infusion of propofol using infusion pump (Orchestra®; Fresenius Vial, Brezins, France). In both groups, remifentanil is continuously infused throughout the surgery for balanced anesthesia, adjusted to maintain arterial pressure.

In the desflurane group, anesthesia is induced with propofol 1-2 mg/kg and maintained with desflurane (5-7 vol %). In both groups, remifentanil is continuously infused throughout the surgery for balanced anesthesia, adjusted to maintain arterial pressure.
