Abstract

Minimal invasive surgery is beneficial due to a smaller incision, reduced postoperative pain which reflect in patient’s earlier return to normal routine and work activities. Expeditious recovery and shorter hospital stay help to improve efficiency of an ambulatory facility and reduce costs. Major factor that determines the early recovery from anaesthesia is choice of anaesthetic technique. Sevoflurane, an inhaled anaesthetic, offer the potential for rapid recovery from anaesthesia. However, with the introduction of propofol, there is increased interest in total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA). Hence, we decided to study comparison of recovery profile between propofol and sevoflurane in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy
