The aim of this research is to examine the effects of the anesthesia method and preoperative characteristics on postoperative results and complications in patients who underwent percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). Method: Patients were split into three groups according to anesthesia methods: (1) General Anesthesia (Sedation), (2) Central Block (Spinal and Epidural Anesthesia), (3) Peripheral Block \[Erector Spina Plane Block (ESPB), and Paravertebral Block (PVB)\]. Patients' pain values, hemodynamic parameters, additional need for sedation, and perioperative and postoperative complications were recorded prospectively together with Visual Pain Scales (VAS).
