Brief Summary

Regarding cognitive assessment of patients in lidocaine group, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean value of preoperative PALT and postoperative PALT (P-value =0.004), and between the mean value of preoperative VF and postoperative VF (P-value =0.002). As for bupivacaine group, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean value of preoperative PALT and postoperative PALT (P-value =0.021), and between the mean value of preoperative VF and postoperative VF (P-value =0.037).
