Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of post operative sore throat postoperatively in patients undergoing elective robotic surgery under general anesthesiaTimepoint: first 2 hrs after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the severity of post operative sore throat at 6, 12, and 24 hours post-extubation using a standardized 4-point grading scale. To evaluate the incidence of associated symptoms such as hoarseness and coughing. To assess patient-reported satisfaction regarding throat comfort postoperatively. To monitor for any local or systemic adverse effects related to topical ropivacaine useTimepoint: first 24 hrs after surgery
