General Anesthesia vs. Local Anesthesia in Stereotaxy (GALAXY)

February 20, 2013 updated by: Lutz Weise, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Hospital
Examination of stress level in general anesthesia in comparison to local anesthesia in stereotactic biopsy

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Stereotactic biopsy is routinely performed under local or general anesthesia. The advantage of local anesthesia might be reduction in cardiac and pulmonal complications, reduction of surgical time, and reduction of hospital stay. On the other hand it has been postulated that intraoperative seizures are avoided by general anesthesia and that brain tumor surgery is perceived in the public as psychological and physical stress.Therefor we postulate that patients undergoing stereotactic biopsies in local anesthesia show a higher stress level than patients operated under general anesthesia.
