The Effect of Spinal and General Anesthesia on Metastatic Lymph Node Flow in Bladder Cancer Surgery: A Pilot Study

CONCLUSIONS: Lymphatic flow in metastatic lymph nodes decreased by spinal anesthesia compared to general anesthesia evaluated by using doppler ultrasound in our study. Although this new mechanism is new in the reduction of lymphatic metastasis during cancer surgery, prospective randomized studies evaluating long-term recurrence and survival are warranted.PMID:34318913 | DOI:10.14744/agri.2020.05658
