Intraoperative administration of systemic/epidural/intrathecal morphine on the quality of recovery following substitutional urethroplasty with buccal mucosal graft: A randomized control trial.

Background And Aims: Substitutional urethroplasty with buccal mucosal grafting for urethral stricture is associated with significant pain, and thus inappropriate perioperative pain management could delay postoperative recovery. The objective of our research was to determine the effects of analgesia with systemic or epidural or intrathecal morphine on quality of recovery (QoR) in patients undergoing substitutional urethroplasty with buccal mucosal grafting.

Material And Methods: This prospective, double-blinded, randomized control trial was conducted over 2 years in ASA I and II patients who underwent substitutional urethroplasty with buccal mucosal graft.
