Anytime the body can go through an invasive procedure with less chemicals, including a preoperative anti-anxiety medication, the less the body has to spend recuperative energy on. From first hand experience my body takes approximately 5 -7 days to fully process the anesthesia out of my body. So, the natural sedating nature 0f music would greatly reduce that 5-7 day purging process. Knowing I will be having future surgeries, the option of music rather than additional chemicals is magnificent. The medical field is finally discovering what musicians have know for years - the calming and recuperative powers of music. I am not the least bit surprised by this data.
