Brief Summary
General anesthesia is routinely administered to patients who undergo elective cholecystectomy. The most commonly used inhalation agents during general anesthesia are sevoflurane and desflurane. Participants who will undergo elective cholecystectomy surgery and meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized. Participants will be divided into two groups. One group will receive sevoflurane, and the other group will receive desflurane. Preoperative and postoperative blood samples will be taken from the participants. After the sample collection process is completed, the ELISA method will be used for measuring blood heme oxygenase-1 protein levels, and the PCR technique will be used for measuring blood heme oxygenase-1 mRNA gene expression. The increase in amounts between the two groups will be compared. This study aims to demonstrate the effects of the most commonly used inhalation agents on the levels of heme oxygenase-1 enzyme, which has been shown to be an important enzyme in cellular protection mechanisms, as well as on mRNA gene expression, and to determine which agent may be more effective in preventing cellular damage at the molecular level.

Primary Outcomes (1)
Comparison of the Effects of Sevoflurane and Desflurane Inhalation Anesthetics on Blood Heme Oxygenase-1 Gene and Protein Levels
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of sevoflurane and desflurane, commonly used inhalation anesthetics in routine anesthesia practice, on blood heme oxygenase-1 gene and protein levels.
Postoperative at hour 1
Study Arms (2)
Sevoflurane Group
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients in this group will receive sevoflurane as the anesthetic agent during elective cholecystectomy surgery. Sevoflurane is a commonly used inhalational anesthetic known for its rapid onset and recovery times.
Desflurane Group
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients in this group will receive desflurane as the anesthetic agent during elective cholecystectomy surgery. Desflurane is another widely used inhalational anesthetic, notable for its low blood-gas solubility coefficient, leading to very rapid onset and recovery times.
Interventions
Preoperative: One hour before surgery, a blood sample will be taken. Intraoperative: Sevoflurane will be used as the inhalational anesthetic. Routine general anesthesia procedures will be followed. Sevoflurane consumption, oxygen levels, and vital parameters will be recorded. Postoperative: One hour after extubation, another blood sample will be taken, marking the end of patient monitoring. Laboratory Analysis: Blood samples will be stored in the biochemistry laboratory. Hemoxygenase-1 protein levels will be measured by ELISA, and mRNA expression will be analyzed using PCR.
