  • Title: [Postoperative analgesia in abdominal surgery: a new look at an old problem].
    Author: Ovechkin AM, Karpov IA, Liuosev SV.
    Journal: Anesteziol Reanimatol; 2003; (5):45-50. PubMed ID: 14671911.
    Abstract:
    Analgesia in abdominal surgery is a sufficiently complicated problem. The extensive surgeries in the abdominal cavity are concomitant with massive tissue damages and are associated the systematic tissue inflammatory response to an intensity of the pain syndrome and of other postoperative complications. The modern understanding of surgical-trauma pathophysiology is indicative of the necessity to modulate the systemic inflammatory response whose severity is preconditioned not only by postoperative pain intensity but also by surgical results. With respect to the above stated, multi-model analgesia can be regarded as an optimal technique since it presupposes the long-term administration of local anesthetics (preferably 0.2% ropivakain) concurrently with non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs used preoperatively (the most effective one is lornoxicam).
