Acetaminophen reduces acute and persistent incisional pain after hysterectomy.

Objective: Acetaminophen is effective for acute surgical pain, but whether it reduces persistent incision pain remains unknown. We tested the primary hypothesis that patients given perioperative acetaminophen have less incisional pain three months after surgery. Our secondary hypotheses were that patients randomized to acetaminophen have less postoperative pain and analgesic consumption, and better functional recovery at three months.

Combined Retrosigmoid-paramedian Supracerebellar Transtentorial Approach as an Alternative to Classical Transtemporal Approaches: A Technical Note.

Epidermoid tumors are rare benign neoplasms. They commonly occur in the parasellar region and the cerebellopontine angle but may sometimes present in the so-called petroclival region, or beyond the boundaries of this location. For those that are localized in multiple compartments, staged surgeries, extensive transtemporal approaches, or somewhat limited extended middle fossa approach are generally performed.

The effect of ondansetron on analgesic efficacy of acetaminophen after hysterectomy: A randomized double blinded placebo controlled trial.

Objectives: To determine that perioperative ondansetron reduces the analgesic efficacy of acetaminophen.

Design: Randomized, double-blinded study.

Patients: 120 patients ASA I-II who underwent abdominal hysterectomy.

Comparison between ultrasound-guided sciatic-femoral nerve block and unilateral spinal anaesthesia for outpatient knee arthroscopy.

Objective: To compare unilateral spinal anaesthesia (USA) and ultrasound-guided combined sciatic-femoral nerve block (USFB) in ambulatory arthroscopic knee surgeries in terms of haemodynamic stability, nerve block quality, bladder function, adverse events and time-to-readiness for discharge (TRD).

Methods: Patients undergoing ambulatory arthroscopic knee surgery were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The USA group received 2 ml (10 mg) of 0.
