  Recruiting Bursa City Hospital · Bursa, Nilüfer · NCT07790471

• Quality of Recovery after opioid-free vs opioid-based general anesthesia in major urological surgery

  This trial tests whether opioid-free anesthesia leads to a better recovery score, as measured by QoR-15, in adults undergoing major urological surgery compared to anesthesia with remifentanil.

  Recruiting Jagiellonian University · Krakow, Lesser Poland Voivodeship · NCT07665463

• Topical lavender oil to help recovery after lung resection
