This study aims to assess whether electroencephalogram (EEG) and nociception level-guided anesthesia can improve quality of recovery after laparoscopic gynecological surgery compared with standard care. Patients will be randomly assigned to either EEG and Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI)-guided anesthesia group (EEG-and-ANI-Guided group) or usual care group (control group). Primary outcome is 15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) score at postoperative day (POD) 1. Secondary outcomes included remifentanil consumption during anesthesia, occurrence of awareness with recall, incidence of undesirable intraoperative movement, emergence time, postoperative pain scores, quality of recovery score at POD 2, and length of hospital stay.
Adult women scheduled to undergo laparoscopic gynecologic surgery will be screened for eligibility. Patients will be randomly allocate to either the EEG-and-ANI-guided group or usual care group. In the guided group, sevoflurane concentration will be titrated according to EEG monitoring. Intraoperative infusion of remifentanil will be titrated by ANI monitoring. In the usual care group, EEG and ANI sensor will be attached to patients, but EEG and ANI monitor will be blinded to the attending anesthesiologists. The anesthesiologists will provide a standard care of our institution for anesthetic and analgesic titration. In brief, hemodynamic variables and clinical situations will be used to titrate the anesthetic depth and analgesic dose. Blinded investigator will assess quality of recovery questionnaire-15 at postoperative day 1 and 2.

During anesthetic maintenance, sevoflurane concentration will be titrated according to EEG monitoring. Sevoflurane concentration will be titrated to maintain intraoperative Patient state index (PSi) ≥ 35 and to avoid burst suppression. Intraoperative target-controlled infusion of remifentanil will be titrated to maintain intraoperative ANI between 50 and 70.
During anesthetic maintenance, the attending anesthesiologists will provide a routine standard care for anesthetic and analgesic titration. In brief, hemodynamic variables and clinical situations will be used to titrate the sevoflurane concentration and remifentanil infusion rates.
For anesthetic maintenance, balanced anesthesia with sevoflurane inhalation and target controlled infusion of remifentanil will be performed.
EEG monitoring using SEDline (Masimo, Irvine, California, USA) and Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI; MetroDoloris Medical Systems, Lille, France) monitoring will be performed.

NOT_YET_RECRUITING15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) at postoperative day (POD) #1
The Korean version of 15-item Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) score. Each item uses an 11-point numeric rating scale. The sum of the scores of the 15 items ranges from 0 to 150, with a high score indicating good quality of recovery.

Occurrence of awareness with recall
Occurrence of awareness with recall during surgery, which will be asked at postoperative day #1.
Time frame: During the operation.
Incidence of undesirable intraoperative movement
Incidence of undesirable intraoperative movement during surgery

Incidence of hypotension during surgery
Time frame: During the operation
Intraoperative phenylephrine consumption
total dose of phenylephrine consumption during surgery
Time frame: During the operation.
Pain numeric rating scale (NRS)
NRS (0 to 10, with 0 being "no pain" and 10 being "the worst pain imaginable ") pain scores during post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, at postoperative 24, 48 hours
