Article Synopsis
- Haemorrhoidectomy often leads to significant postoperative pain and a decline in quality of life for patients; this study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an intraoperative perineal block as pain management for these surgeries.
- In a controlled trial with 100 patients, those receiving the perineal block reported significantly less pain intensity, utilized fewer opioids, and enjoyed longer pain-free periods compared to those who only had spinal anaesthesia.
- The findings suggest that the perineal block is a safe and effective technique that can enhance postoperative recovery and overall patient satisfaction after anorectal surgery.
Background: Hemorrhoidectomy is associated with intense postoperative pain that requires multimodal analgesia. It includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, and local anesthetics to reach adequate pain control. There are data in literature preemptive analgesia could decrease postoperative pain after hemorrhoidectomy.
