Intraperitoneal bupivacaine for the reduction of postoperative pain following operative laparoscopy: a pilot study and review of the literature

Abstract: This pilot case-control study was carried out to determine the value of intraperitoneal irrigation with a long-acting local anaesthetic agent in reducing postoperative analgesic requirements following gynaecological operative laparoscopy. Twenty women undergoing gynaecological laparoscopic surgery were recruited to receive dilute bupivacaine instilled into the peritoneal cavity at the completion of surgery. Analgesic requirements were assessed during the first 10 hours, and pain scores at 4 and 24 hours. Analg… Show more

“…The data reported in our study do not match the results of several randomized controlled trials which assessed use of intraperitoneal local anesthetic administration in the setting of simpler laparoscopic procedures, such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, and fundoplication [9,10,19]. In this context, the extent of surgical trauma, the timing and type of local anesthetic administered, as well as the route of administration are likely to play an important role.…”

“…1,2 This technique reduces early postoperative analgesic requirements, pain scores, and time to firstintervention analgesia after abdominal surgery in humans. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] According to meta-analyses and systematic reviews, IP administration of bupivacaine currently is recommended for laparoscopic surgery in humans as an adjuvant analgesic technique. 3,[13][14][15][16] Intraperitoneal administration of bupivacaine can reduce pain scores and blunt surgery-induced stress responses in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy.…”
