Effect of Alleviating Preoperative Anxiety on Gastrointestinal Function Recovery After Laparoscopic High Ligation of the Hernia Sac in Children with Indirect Inguinal Hernia.

Purpose: Anxiety and depression can affect the physiology of the gastrointestinal tract through the brain-gut axis, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction, which is mainly manifested as indigestion, diarrhoea, constipation, or abdominal pain. Preoperative anxiety arises in children due to separation from parents, fear of unfamiliar surroundings and anaesthesia and surgical procedures.To discuss the effect of alleviating preoperative anxiety on postoperative recovery of gastrointestinal function in children with indirect inguinal hernia after laparoscopic high ligation of the hernia sac.

The Effect of Depth of Anesthesia on Postoperative Pain in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Patients with obesity are more sensitive to pain and more likely to have acute postoperative pain (APP). Studies have shown that the depth of anesthesia may affect the incidence of APP. The purpose of the study was to look into the connection between APP and depth of anesthesia in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
