Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of continuous epidural analgesia on the postoperative pain and the early recovery after laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG).
Methods: A total of 66 patients undergoing elective LAG were investigated for postoperative pain score and other variables retrospectively.
Results: Forty-four patients who had received epidural analgesia (E group) showed significantly lower pain scores for 2, 12 and 48 hours after surgery, compared with 22 patients who had received analgesics intramuscularly or transrectally (C group). The patients in the E group needed significantly less supplemental analgesics than those in C group for 2 and 12 hours after the operation. The early recovery and the incidence of postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusions: These results show that postoperative continuous epidural analgesia is effective for postoperative pain relief in patients after laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strengthening on the pelvic floor function in women who have experienced OASIS two years after delivery, and the secondary objective was to educate women about PFM strengthening and instruct them on the correct way to exercise. A prospective case-control study was conducted. The participants were divided into two groups: the case group (women who experienced OASIS) and the control group (women who did not experience perineal tears but had similar obstetric-related data to the case).

Background: A significant number of primiparous women lack awareness of labor epidural analgesia, resulting in lower acceptance of labor epidural analgesia. Additional prenatal education may help primiparas understand labor epidural analgesia and increase labor epidural analgesia rates. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the effects of an online and offline prenatal labor epidural analgesia education program for primiparas to improve their labor epidural analgesia rate and to reduce their misunderstanding of labor epidural analgesia and fear of birth.
