Purpose
As introduced, multimodal pain management bundle for ileostomy reversal may be considered to reduce postoperative pain and hospital stay. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of perioperative multimodal pain bundle for ileostomy.
Methods
Medical records of patients who underwent ileostomy reversal after rectal cancer surgery from April 2017 to March 2020 were analyzed. Sixty-seven patients received multimodal pain bundle protocol with ileostomy reversal (group A) and 41 patients underwent closure of ileostomy with conventional pain management (group B).
Results
Baseline characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, diabetes mellitus, and smoking history, were not significantly different between the groups. The pain score on postoperative day 1 was significant lower in group A (visual analog scale, 2.6 ± 1.3 vs. 3.2 ± 1.2; P = 0.013). Overall consumption of opioid in group A was significant less than group B (9.7 ± 9.5 vs. 21.2 ± 8.8, P < 0.001). Hospital stay was significantly shorter in group A (2.3 ± 1.5 days vs. 4.1 ± 1.5 days, P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the groups in postoperative complication rate.
Conclusion
Multimodal pain protocol for ileostomy reversal could reduce postoperative pain, usage of opioid and hospital stay compared to conventional pain management.

Purpose
The objective of this study was to compare the perioperative outcomes between single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SILA) and 3-port conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol.
Methods
Of 101 laparoscopic appendectomy with ERAS protocol cases for appendicitis from March 2019 to April 2020, 54 patients underwent SILA with multimodal analgesic approach (group 1) while 47 patients received CLA with multimodal analgesic approach (group 2). SILA and CLA were compared with the single institution’s ERAS protocol. To adjust for baseline differences and selection bias, operative outcomes and complications were compared after propensity score matching (PSM).
Results
After 1:1 PSM, well-matched 35 patients in each group were evaluated. Postoperative hospital stays for patients in group 1 (1.2 ± 0.8 vs. 1.6 ± 0.8 days, P = 0.037) were significantly lesser than those for patients in group 2. However, opioid consumption (2.0 mg vs. 1.4 mg, P=0.1) and the postoperative scores of visual analogue scale for pain at 6 hours (2.4±1.9 vs. 2.8 ± 1.4, P = 0.260) and 12 hours (2.4 ± 2.0 vs. 2.9 ± 1.5, P = 0.257) did not show significant difference between the 2 groups.
Conclusion
SILA resulted in shortening the length of hospitalization without increase in complications or readmission rates compared to CLA with ERAS protocol.

Abstract PDF

Purpose
Open haemorrhoidectomy is associated with significant postoperative pain. Metronidazole is commonly prescribed in the postoperative period as an adjunct to analgesia in pain management.
Methods
In our systematic review, studies were identified using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase/Ovid and Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials databases. Studies were included if they were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving interventions with oral metronidazole at any dose over any time period. The primary outcome was pain score (visual analogue scale, VAS) after open haemorrhoidectomy. Secondary outcomes included time to return to normal daily activities, additional analgesia usage, and postoperative complications.
Results
Of 14 RCTs reviewed, 4 met inclusion criteria and were selected. The studies comprised 336 study subjects and 169 subjects were randomised to metronidazole while 167 were in the control group. There was a significant reduction in VAS across all time points, with maximal reduction seen on day 5 posthaemorrhoidectomy (mean difference, -2.28; 95% confidence interval, -2.49 to -2.08; P < 0.001). There was no difference in incidence of complications (P = 0.13). The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool showed 3 of 4 of the studies had a risk of bias.
Conclusion
Metronidazole may be associated with decreased pain but there is insufficient evidence from RCTs to provide a strong grade of recommendation. Further RCTs are required.

Purpose
Few studies have analyzed the effects of preoperative pain education on the postoperative decision to discharge. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pain education and management on the decision to discharge patients after single-incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SILA).
Methods
We analyzed 135 patients who had undergone SILA for acute appendicitis between March 2017 and April 2018 in a single medical center. Of these, 72 patients (53.3%) had received preoperative pain education (group 1), and 63 (46.7%) had not (group 2). We compared perioperative outcomes and complications between the groups.
Results
Baseline characteristics of sex, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologist score, and systemic inflammation factors (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein level) did not differ significantly between the groups. There were no postoperative complications for patients in either group. Perioperative consequences and pathologic findings were not significantly different between the groups; however, length of hospital was significantly shorter in group 1.
Conclusion
Preoperative pain education in relation to postoperative pain management influenced the decision to shorten the postoperative hospital length of stay after SILA.

Purpose

This study evaluated the use of adding morphine to bupivacaine in spinal anesthesia for pain control in patients who underwent an open hemorrhoidectomy.

Methods

Forty patients were prospectively selected for an open hemorrhoidectomy at the same institution and were randomized into two groups of 20 patients each: group 1 had a spinal with 7 mg of heavy bupivacaine associated with 80 µg of morphine (0.2 mg/mL). Group 2 had a spinal with 7 mg of heavy bupivacaine associated with distilled water, achieving the same volume of spinal infusion as that of group 1. Both groups were prescribed the same pain control medicine during the postoperative period. Pain scores were evaluated at the anesthetic recovery room and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery. Postoperative complications, including pruritus, nausea, headaches, and urinary retention, were also recorded.

Results

There were no anthropometric statistical differences between the two groups. Pain in the anesthetic recovery room and 3 hours after surgery was similar for both groups. However, pain was better controlled in group 1 at 6 and 12 hours after surgery. Although pain was better controlled for group 1 after 24 hours of surgery, the difference between the groups didn't achieved statistical significance. Complications were more common in group 1. Six patients (6/20) presented coetaneous pruritus and 3 with (3/20) urinary retention.

Conclusion

A hemorrhoidectomy under a spinal with morphine provides better pain control between 6 and 12 hours after surgery. However, postoperative complications, including cutaneous pruritus (30%) and urinary retention (15%), should be considered as a negative side of this procedure.

Abstract PDF

Purpose

Recently, single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has been popular for minimally invasive surgery and cosmetic improvement. However, some papers have reported that SILS for an appendectomy (SILS-A) has had the more postoperative complaints of pain. We investigated postoperative pain relief using wound infiltration with 0.5% bupivacaine in SILS-A and compared the result with that for conventional SILS-A.

Methods

Between July 2010 and September 2012, 75 patients who underwent SILS-A were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: conventional SILS-A group (C-SILS-A) or wound infiltrated with 0.5% bupivacaine in SILS-A group (W-SILS-A). Forty-five patients were in the C-SILS-A, and 30 patients were in the W-SILS-A. Patients with perforated appendicitis were excluded. The clinical outcomes were compared between the groups by using the verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS).

Results

Clinical outcomes were similar in both study groups except for the pain score. The W-SILS-A group showed significantly lower numbers of additional pain killers and lower VNRS scores 1, 6, and 12 hours after surgery than the C-SILS-A group.

Conclusion

W-SILS-A is a technically simple and effective method of reducing early postoperative pain. It may be applicable in SILS-A for pain control system.

Abstract PDF: PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to compare conventional scissors and Harmonic Scalpel(R) hemorrhoidectomy.
METHODS
Two hundred and five patients were prospectively assigned to two groups in the consecutive order. The group was divided into Group A (Harmonic Scalpel(R) excision; n=101) and Group B (conventional scissor excision; n=104). All other aspects of surgery and anesthesia were standardized. Intramuscular opiate was available on demand during the postoperative period, and analgesic requirements were also recorded. All patients noted their pain on a daily basis using a visual analogue scale (0=no pain; 10=worst pain). The length of hospitalization, operative time and postoperative complications were also analyzed.
RESULTS
The operative time was 16.6 +/- 0.9 minutes 25.3 +/- 0.8 minutes in Group A and B, respectively (p<0.01). Length of hospital stay was 4.1 +/- 0.1 and 4.5 +/- 0.1 days (p<0.05). Pain scores in the group A were significantly lower than in the group B (p<0.01). Analgesic requirements were also significantly less in group A (p<0.05). Postoperative complications, such as urinary retention, fecal impaction and skin tags were rarer in group A. One patient in group A and two patients in group B developed secondary hemorrhage, but no patient had anal stricture.
CONCLUSIONS
The Harmonic Scalpel(R) excision significantly shortens the operative time for hemorrhoidectomy with less blood loss and postoperative pain without remarkable early or late postoperative complications.

The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate whether additional intraoperative injection of Tarasyn (ketorolac tromethamine) provided a preemptive analgesic effect that improved postoperative pain.
METHODS
Sixty patients scheduled for hemorrhoidectomy were randomly assigned to the study and control groups. For the control group (n=32), patients were treated with standard intravenous injections of Nubain (Nalbuphine hydrochloride; Jeil Pharmaceuticals Co, Seoul) per 8 hours for three times postoperatively for pain relief. In the study group (Tarasyn group, n=28), 60 mg of Tarasyn (ketorolac tromethamine; Roche Korea, Seoul) was injected into the internal sphincter muscle and around the operative wound at the time of hemorrhoidectomy as well as standard intravenous injections of Nubain . Parameters were measured of pain score from 0 (no pain) to 10 (agonizing pain), painless sound sleep, additional analgesic requirements, time to first bowel movement, and postoperative urinary retention.
RESULTS
Rate of painless sound sleep was 75.0% and 53.1% in the Tarasyn and the control groups, respectively, which was significant statically between two groups (P<0.05). Time to first bowel movement was 2 and 3.2 days in Tarasyn and the control groups, respectively, which was also significant statistically (P<0.05). Voiding difficulty developed in one case (3.5%) in the Tarasyn group and he needed catheterization. In the control group, however, the number (15 cases, 46.9%; P<0.001) was much higher requiring more catherization (13 cases, 40.9%; P<0.001). Mean pain scores was significant statically between two groups (P<0.001).
CONCLUSION
The data suggest that the use of intraoperative injection of Tarasyn is associated with a significant decrease in pain and urinary complications after hemorrhoidectomy.

Abstract PDF: The pain after a hemorrhoidectomy is widely feared by many patients who are mostly still treated with oral/intramuscular narcotics to control their pain postoperatively. In an effort to decrease posthemorrhoidectomy pain by applying newer methods of analgesia, a prospective trial was conducted to investigate the postoperative analgesic effect of Tarasyn(R) (ketorolac tromethamine) injected into the internal sphincter muscle at the time of the hemorrhoidectomy. Tarasyn(R) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug introduced for intramuscular injection to control postoperative pain. It's action is peripheral. Therefore, it seems appropriate to inject it directly into the anal sphincter muscles when these are exposed during anorectal procedures. A total loading dose of 60 mg(2 cc, 30 mg/ml) of ketorolac was used intraoperatively. It was injected intramuscularly locally after completion of hemorrhoidectomy. Postoperative pain after a hemorrhoidectomy can be safely controlled in a patient by using newer methods of pain control, including supplemental use of the nonsteroidal analgesic ketorolac, which allows early release of the patient, the day of surgery by diminishing the postoperative pain in our study group. Another important advantage of a local injection of ketorolac was the elimination of urinary retention.
