Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different postoperative analgesia methods used in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Analgesia techniques are determined independently by the responsible anesthesiologist as part of routine clinical practice, and the study team does not intervene in treatment decisions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective observational clinical study designed to examine the impact of various postoperative analgesia strategies on pain outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). In routine practice at the participating center, regional block techniques and intravenous analgesia protocols are commonly used, and different anesthesiologists may choose different postoperative analgesia approaches.

All patients will undergo standard general anesthesia according to institutional protocols. Intraoperative monitoring will include heart rate, mean arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, duration of surgery, opioid consumption, and intraoperative complications. Postoperative follow-up will include assessment of pain scores (NRS) at 0, 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours, cumulative opioid consumption, need for rescue analgesics, time to first analgesic request, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), antiemetic use, patient satisfaction, and any analgesia-related adverse events.

Demographic characteristics (age, sex, BMI, ASA status), stone features (location, side, volume), and intraoperative variables will be recorded. Data will be collected prospectively and stored securely.

The primary goal is to compare the effect of different postoperative analgesia methods on cumulative opioid use in the first 24 hours. Secondary aims include evaluating pain scores, rescue analgesic need, intraoperative opioid use, time to first analgesic request, PONV incidence, patient satisfaction, and adverse effects.
