About this trial
The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the effects of different anesthesia techniques on the quality of recovery (QoR) and patient satisfaction in male patients, typically older adults with benign prostatic hyperplasia, undergoing Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP).
Participants will undergo HoLEP surgery under one of three anesthesia techniques-general, spinal, or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia-and will complete the QoR-40 questionnaire both before and after the surgery.

Anesthesia method
Procedure/SurgeryPatients will be divided into subgroups according to different anesthesia methods (general, spinal, and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia) and compared in terms of recovery quality (QoR-40) and other parameters.

Primary outcomes
The Quality of Recovery Score (QoR-40)
The QoR-40 is a self-rated questionnaire that consists of 40 items to evaluate the pain levels and physical and emotional state of patients, comprising five subscales: emotional state (n = 9), physical comfort (n = 12), patient support (n = 7), physical independence (n = 5), and pain (n = 7). Each item is scored on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. The scores for the subscales are given by the sum of the corresponding items, and the total score is computed by a summation of all items. The total score ranges from 40 to 200. Higher scores indicate higher levels of functioning or well-being. Change in QoR-40 score from preoperative to postoperative day 1 to evaluate overall recovery quality.
Secondary outcomes
Patient satisfaction and surgeon satisfaction
Patient and surgeon satisfaction was rated using a 5-option Likert scale at postoperative day 1: 1 = very bad, 2 = bad, 3 = moderate, 4 = good and 5 = excellent.
