Summary

The FRAIL scale will be applied to patients at the preoperative visit. According to the FRAIL Scale, patients will be divided into 3 groups as Non-frail (Group I), pre-frail (Group II) and frail (Group III). After routine preoperative preparation and monitoring, patients will be given spinal anesthesia. Demographic data and intraoperative data of the patients will be recorded. Patients will be transferred to the post-operational post-operative care unit (PACU) and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) will be applied to each patient with a standard protocol. In the postoperative period, the need for analgesics will be recorded for 24 hours, and if additional analgesics are needed, they will be recorded. Pain scores of the patients will be evaluated for 24 hours.
