Comparison of Spinal and General Anesthesia on Systemic Inflammatory Response in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Evaluation of SII, SIRI, AISI, NLR, and RDW

This observational study aims to compare the effects of spinal and general anesthesia on perioperative systemic inflammatory response in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Systemic inflammatory indices derived from routine complete blood count parameters, including Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW), will be evaluated. Preoperative and postoperative laboratory values will be analyzed to determine whether the type of anesthesia influences systemic inflammatory markers and related clinical outcomes.

Study Population

The study population consists of adult patients aged 18 years and older who undergo elective percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgery and meet the eligibility criteria. Patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III are included. All participants receive either spinal or general anesthesia as part of routine clinical practice, and no additional intervention is performed for research purposes.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status class I-III
  • Patients aged 18 years and older

Exclusion Criteria:

  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status class IV or V
  • Patients younger than 18 years
  • Active infection or diagnosis of sepsis
  • Malignancy
  • Chronic inflammatory diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus)
  • Use of immunosuppressive therapy
  • Pregnancy

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Spinal Anesthesia Group
Patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy under spinal anesthesia as part of routine clinical practice. No additional intervention is performed for the purposes of the study.
General Anesthesia Group

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Perioperative change in systemic inflammatory indices (SII, SIRI, AISI, NLR, RDW)
Time Frame: From preoperative period (within 6 hours before surgery) to postoperative period (6-24 hours after surgery)
Changes in Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI), Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) will be evaluated using routine complete blood count parameters obtained preoperatively and postoperatively.
From preoperative period (within 6 hours before surgery) to postoperative period (6-24 hours after surgery)
