Effect of local wound infiltration with ropivacaine on postoperative pain relief and stress response reduction after open hepatectomy

Abstract: AIMTo prospectively evaluate the effect of local wound infiltration with ropivacaine on postoperative pain relief and stress response reduction after open hepatectomy.METHODSA total of 56 patients undergoing open hepatectomy were randomly divided into two groups: a ropivacaine group (wound infiltration with ropivacaine solution) and a control group (infiltration with isotonic saline solution). A visual analog scale (VAS) at rest and on movement was used to measure postoperative pain for the first 48 h after su… Show more

“…The VAS scores in the first 24 hours were obviously lower in the patients who received LIA than the control patients, and the total opioid use via PCA within 72 hours was also less in the LIA patients than in the control patients. These findings are similar to those of previous studies 14,20,21 . Furthermore, we calculated the periodic consumption of sufentanil in the first 72 hours after surgery and found that the ropivacaine group used less opioid analgesics than the control group at each follow-up point in the first 24 hours postoperatively.…”

“…Postoperative pain is a serious problem for patients after splenectomy. The curved incision damages many muscles and afferent nerves, contributing to postoperative pain [1,2]. Postoperative pain not only leads to discomfort and inhibits recovery but also prolongs hospitalization.…”

“…Splenectomy performed via a curved incision from the subxiphoid region to the anterior axillary line along the left subcostal margin results in injury to muscles, such as the rectus abdominis muscle, the external oblique muscle, the internal oblique muscle and the transversus abdominis muscle, etc. [1]. These broad injuries of the upper abdominal wall are the main contributors to severe postoperative pain [2], resulting in postoperative complications and a prolonged duration of recovery after the operation [3].…”

“…To reduce the side effects of opioids, multimodal analgesia has been used in perioperative pain management. As a new method of multimodal analgesia, local wound infiltration anaesthesia plays an important role in alleviating postoperative acute wound pain, reducing opioid use, and facilitating fast recovery . This method uses only local anaesthetic drugs, such as ropivacaine and bupivacaine, and provides adequate analgesic effects.…”
