At present, there are no large clinical studies on the effects of opioid-sparing anesthesia on early postoperative recovery after thoracoscopic surgery. This study was to investigate the effects of opioid-sparing anesthesia on early postoperative recovery after thoracoscopic surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adult patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery from 1 January 2019 to 28 February 2021 were enrolled by reviewing the electronic medical records. Participants were divided into opioid-sparing anesthesia (OSA group) and opioid-containing anesthesia (STD group) based on intraoperative opioid usage. The propensity-score analysis was to compare the early postoperative recovery of two groups. The outcome measurements included the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) during an entire hospital stay, need for rescue antiemetic medication, postoperative-pain episodes within 48\u2005h after surgery, need for rescue analgesia 48\u2005h postoperatively, duration of postoperative hospital stay, length of PACU stay, postoperative fever, postoperative shivering, postoperative atrial fibrillation, postoperative pulmonary infection, postoperative hypoalbuminemia, postoperative hypoxemia, intraoperative blood loss, and intraoperative urine output.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 1,975 patients were identified. No significant difference was observed in patient characteristics between the OSA and STD groups after adjusting for propensity score-based inverse probability treatment weighting. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in the OSA group than in the STD group (14.7% vs. 18.9%, <jats:italic>p\u2009<\/jats:italic>=\u20090.041). The rescue antiemetic use rate was lower in the OSA group than in the STD group (7.5% vs.12.2%; <jats:italic>p\u2009<\/jats:italic>=\u20090.002). PACU duration was longer in the OSA group than in the STD group (70.8\u2009\u00b1\u200929.0\u2005min vs. 67.3\u2009\u00b1\u200922.7\u2005min; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.016). The incidence of postoperative fever was higher in the STD group than that in the OSA group (11.0% vs.7.7%; <jats:italic>p\u2009<\/jats:italic>=\u20090.032). There were no differences between the groups in terms of other outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results suggest that opioid-sparing anesthesia
