Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia is associated with better survival than desflurane anesthesia in glioblastoma surgery.

In this limited sample size, we observed that propofol anesthesia was associated with improved survival and less postoperative recurrence in glioblastoma surgery than desflurane anesthesia. Further investigations are needed to examine the influence of propofol anesthesia on patient outcomes following glioblastoma surgery.
