    Introduction : The use of second-generation supraglottic airway devices has seen a signi?cant rise since their introduction. Previous studies have conducted comparisons between the Proseal LMA and endotracheal tubes in various surgical procedures such as laparoscopic surgeries, pediatric short procedures, and lower abdominal surgeries. Furthermore, the Proseal LMA has been evaluated against other supraglottic airway devices like the I-gel and LMA Supreme in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Aim and objectives: To compare AmbuAura Gain and the Proseal LMA in terms of their functionality related to the ease of insertion, ability to secure the airway and the occurrence of adverse events in patients undergoing limb or breast surgeries. Methodology: This study was conducted in Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur. It is a 1100 bedded multispecialty hospital with 9 Operation Rooms. The hospital caters to a large number of patients from Jamshedpur as well as from different parts of Jharkhand. This study was conducted in the Operation Room.This study consisted of patients of either sexes who ful?lled the Inclusion and Exclusion criteria admitted for surgical intervention who has given consent for general anesthesia. Results: The mean oropharyngeal leak pressure in Group 1 is 24.91 ± 2.08 and in Group 2 is 27.89 ± 2.27. The difference in mean oropharyngeal leak pressures between the two Groups was statistically signi?cant, as p value < 0.05. The mean oropharyngeal leak pressure in Group 1 is 24.91 ± 2.08 and in Group 2 is 27.89 ± 2.27. The difference in mean oropharyngeal leak pressures between the two Groups was statistically signi?cant, as p value < 0.05 Conclusions: Based on the ?ndings of our study, it can be concluded that the Ambu Auragain LMA is more favorable than the Proseal LMA for elective surgical cases in terms of ease of insertion, including the number of insertion attempts and the time required for insertion. Additionally, the time for insertion of an orogastric tube was also found to be more ef?cient with the Ambu Auragain LMA
