Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive DS, DC, or DE. Neurocognitive function was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) before surgery, on postoperative day 1 (POD 1), and on postoperative day 5 (POD 5). Secondary outcomes included the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), dizziness, numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores, and the requirement for rescue antiemetic medication.
