Conclusion: Opioid based technique (Fentanyl) of TIVA is superior over non-opioid based (dexmedetomidine) technique with faster recovery, early discharge, decreased postoperative pain scores and better hemodynamic stability. PONV is observed with opioids which can be treated successfully with antiemetics.
