Excerpt

The potential long-term impact of surgery and anesthesia has been progressing over the past 20 years with a significant interest and academically challenging research activity on the several aspects of neurodevelopment [1, 2]. Although anesthesiologists are currently facing the likelihood that detectable developmental anesthetic neurotoxicity may not exist in a single and short exposure to general anesthesia in early life [3‐6], they have not yet been able to prove or disprove this nonexistence [7]. …
