Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed today.It is important to perform the surgical procedure under regional anesthesia to prevent intraoperative complications due to general anesthesia.After shoulder surgery, providing adequate analgesia is necessary for both the comfort of the patient and the ability to perform the necessary post-operative rehabilitation exercises early and regularly. Nerve blocks reduces opioid consumption in the postoperative period by providing better pain control and therefore has advantages such as fewer side effects and less risk of pulmonary and cardiac complications. In this study; it was aimed to compare postoperative pain scores, patient satisfaction and surgeon satisfaction in patients who were operated under general anesthesia or who underwent shoulder arthroscopy while awake under regional anesthesia

After the patients are monitored and in the supine position, after appropriate field sterilization, interscalene brachial plexus block, superficial cervical block, and supraclavicular brachial plexus block will be applied to these patients under ultrasound guidance. Total of 40 ml of local anesthetic solution (20 ml %0.5 bupivacaine + 10 ml %2 lidocaine + 10 ml physiological saline) will be prepared; 15 ml will be used for interscalene brachial plexus block, 10 ml will be used for superficial cervical block, and 15 ml will be used for supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Tramadol (100 mg, intravenous) and dexketoprofen (50 mg, intravenous) will be administered intraoperatively as standard to these patients. Additionally, in the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.
Anesthesia induction will be performed with 2.5 mg/kg propofol, 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium, and 1 mcg/kg fentanyl. Maintenance will be achieved with sevoflurane (MAC: 0.9-1.0) and remifentanil (0.05-0.2 mcg/kg/min). Remifentanil titration will be done according to basal heart rate and blood pressure. Tramadol (100 mg, intravenous) and dexketoprofen (50 mg, intravenous) will be administered intraoperatively as standard to these patients. Additionally, in the postoperative period a paracetamol dose of 1 g every 8 hours and a dexketoprofen dose of 50 mg twice daily were administered iv for multimodal analgesia.

Pain Scores
Pain will be assessed at rest and while coughing using the visual analog scale on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain).
Time frame: At the 0st, 1st, 2nd,4th, 12th, and 24th hours after the surgery.
Patient satisfaction
Likert scale will be used to evaluate patient satisfaction (5:very satisfied, 4:satisfied, 3:undecided, 2:not satisfied, 1:very dissatisfied)
Time frame: Up to 24 hours after surgery
Surgeon satisfaction
Likert scale will be used to evaluate surgeon satisfaction (5:very satisfied, 4:satisfied, 3:undecided, 2:not satisfied, 1:very dissatisfied)
Time frame: Up to 24 hours after surgery
Duration of the surgery
For general anesthesia: The time from induction to extubation. For regional anesthesia: The time from the application of the block to the end of the surgery.
Time frame: During surgery
Intraoperatif opioid consumption
The amount of remifentanil used during surgery will be recorded. Remifentanil titration will be done according to basal heart rate and blood pressure.
Time frame: During surgery
Cost Analysis
Cost analysis will be limited to items that genuinely differ between the two anesthesia techniques. Items administered identically to all patients in both groups (intraoperative tramadol and dexketoprofen, postoperative paracetamol and dexketoprofen, basic monitoring equipment, intravenous cannulas, and crystalloid solutions) will be excluded from the calculation, as they will not contribute to intergroup differences.
Time frame: Up to 24 hours after surgery
