Published: October 2006

Pain following tonsilleclomy is of major concern to both the surgeons and the Anesthesiologists. Pre-incisional Bupivacaine infiltration into the tonsillar fossa has been used as a method of relieving post-operative pain in children. In this study pre-incisional Bupivacaine infiltration into the tonsillar fossa resulted in immediate post-operative pain lasting four to six hours.

Background: Previous research has shown that levobupivacaine is as effective as bupivacaine but carries a lower risk of cardiac and central nervous system toxicity. This study explores whether levobupivacaine and bupivacaine are preferable for all patients, includ-ing those with comorbidities, particularly focusing on their effects on colonic anastomosis. The primary objective is to examine the influence of levobupivacaine and bupivacaine on colonic anastomosis.

Objective: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), despite its minimally invasive nature, requires effective control of post-operative pain. The use of local anesthetics (LA) has been studied, but the level of evidence is low, and there is little information on important parameters such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL) or return to work. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.

Unlabelled: The most important concern after the surgical intervention is pain which needs to be addressed for better compliance and early mobilization to avoid other complications. The need for a better analgesic and time of administration is the key to success.

Objective: To compare the mean post-operative pain score with pre-incisional versus post-operative injection of bupivacaine in patients undergoing elective surgery.

Background And Aim: Pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is common and results in poor quality of recovery. Our study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of port site local infiltration, novel erector spinae plane (ESP) block, and standard regimen in patients undergoing LC and its impact on functional recovery.

Methods: After ethical approval and registering the trial, we randomly allocated 105 adult patients undergoing LC to three groups: Group I ( = 35), received multimodal analgesia; Group II ( = 35), received pre-incisional port site infiltration with 20 ml of 0.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared the effectiveness of One-Level and Bi-Level erector spinae plane blocks for pain relief in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery.
  • Conducted on 60 patients, it assessed pain levels using visual analog scale (VAS) scores at various postoperative intervals and monitored the use of additional analgesics and side effects.
  • Results indicated that the Bi-Level ESPB provided better pain control for coughing, with significant differences in VAS scores at certain times, although both methods showed similar side effects and overall analgesic needs.
