Background: The aim of this project is to determine whether performing K-wire osteosynthesis of the hand in an outpatient clinic generates a higher rate of infections compared with those occurring after performing the same technique in an operating room.

Methods: We reviewed the electronic medical charts of 172 patients who underwent percutaneous pinning of the hand in our center's outpatient clinic during 2021 and 2022. Relevant data, including patient risk factors (eg, diabetes), procedural management (eg, number of days before pin removal), and outcomes were collected and analyzed.

Epidural Local Anesthetics Versus Opioid-Based Analgesic Regimens for Postoperative Gastrointestinal Paralysis, Vomiting, and Pain After Abdominal Surgery: A Cochrane Review.

Anesth Analg

December 2016

From the *University of Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada; †Teaching and Research Unit, Health Sciences, University of Quebec in Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada; ‡Department of Anesthesiology, Seibo International Catholic Hospital, Tokyo, Japan; and §Department of Anesthesiology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota.

Background: The aim of this review was to compare the effects of postoperative epidural analgesia with local anesthetics to postoperative systemic or epidural opioids in terms of return of gastrointestinal transit, postoperative pain control, postoperative vomiting, incidence of gastrointestinal anastomotic leak, hospital length of stay, and cost after abdominal surgery.

Methods: Trials were identified by computerized searches of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2014, Issue 12), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) (from 1950 to December, 2014) and Excerpta Medica dataBASE (EMBASE) (from 1974 to December 2014) and by checking the reference lists of trials retained. We included parallel randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of postoperative epidural local anesthetic with regimens based on systemic or epidural opioids.
