Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of general and spinal anesthesia on the inflammatory response by measuring intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), P-selectin (SELP), and thrombomodulin (TM) levels in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Materials and Methods: A total of 43 patients scheduled for IHR were divided into two groups: general anesthesia (Group G, n=21) and spinal anesthesia (Group S, n=22). Blood samples were collected at the following time points: for Group G-before induction (T0), after intubation (T1), 15 minutes after surgical incision (T2) and 15 minutes after final skin suturing (T3); for Group S-before spinal anesthesia (T0), after spinal anesthesia (T1), 15 minutes after surgical incision (T2) and 15 minutes after final skin suturing (T3). ICAM-1, SELP and TM levels were analyzed.
