Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the pain in the 24 hours after surgery, quality of life, and the outcome of surgery in patients undergoing urogenital surgery by spinal and general anesthesia. Materials and Methods: Women referring a candidate for urogenital surgery in Vali-e-Asr Hospital entered the study after their informed consent; in one of the two study groups: Spinal Anesthesia (SA) vs. General Anesthesia (GA). The pain scores around the clock were measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. Also, the two groups were compared regarding patient satisfaction at the time of ambulation. The surgery outcomes were measured using International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaires ICIQ. Data were entered and analyzed by SPSS software. Results: There was no significant relationship between parity, previous non-cesarean abdominal surgery, and urinary complications. However, there was a statistically significant difference between pain score in the two groups; while the postoperative days were not different in the two groups of anesthesia methods Conclusion: Considering the different influence of treatment methods for this disease, further research is needed to clarify, the results of anatomical, and anatomical outcomes after treatment for pelvic floor disorders in women.
