Analgesic Efficacy of Caudal Block Versus Diclofenac Suppository and Local Anesthetic Infiltration Following Pediatric Laparoscopy

Abstract: We find the analgesic efficacy of diclofenac suppository combined with local anesthetic infiltration at port sites comparable to caudal block. Given the necessarily invasive nature of caudal block, we suggest the combined use of diclofenac suppository with local anesthetic infiltration at port sites as a useful and more economical alternative for analgesia following pediatric laparoscopy.

“…In that trial, 50 children, having a variety of mostly non-urologic procedures, were randomized to receive either caudal blocks or a diclofenac suppository and local anesthesia. No difference was found in pain scores, and other outcome measures were not assessed [25]. [11].…”

“…The amounts of abomasal content were 20 g, which was sufficient for a nutrition study. The human experience of laparoscopy suggests that it is a painful procedure (Borkar and Dave 2005), which is also likely to be the case with sheep. It is assumed that the use of a general anaesthetic was a distressing and probably painful experience, and most of the pain arising during the laparoscopy procedure is due to stretching of the peritoneum, caused by distension of the abdomen with CO 2 (Stafford et al 2006).…”
