Sevoflurane vs Propofol Anesthesia in Obese Patients Undergoing Lumbar Surgery

Comparison of the Immunomodulatory Effects of Sevoflurane and Propofol Anesthesia on Pentraxin-3 and Serum Amyloid A Levels in Obese Patients Undergoing Lumbar Instrumentation Surgery

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 28 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This randomized, single-center, single-masked clinical trial aims to compare the immunomodulatory effects of sevoflurane-based inhalational anesthesia and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia in obese patients undergoing elective lumbar instrumentation surgery. Seventy patients will be randomized into two groups: a propofol group and a sevoflurane group. Blood samples will be collected preoperatively, at postoperative 6 hours, and at postoperative 24 hours. Pentraxin-3 and serum amyloid A levels will be evaluated as primary inflammatory biomarkers together with IL-6, TNF-α, CRP, glucose, and complete blood count parameters.
