Assessment of pain by face scales after gastrectomy: comparison of laparoscopically assisted gastrectomy and open gastrectomy

Abstract: The pain score for laparoscopic gastrectomy was low. There was no significant difference in pain between procedures while epidural anesthesia was in effect. Pain subsided earlier with laparoscopic than with open gastrectomy. The same characteristics were observed with both LADG and LATG.

“…Pain is the most direct feeling for postoperative patients, and patients are often unwilling or afraid to move because of postoperative pain, which results in increased postoperative complications. Compared with the traditional open gastrectomy, the 5-hole method can obviously reduce the pain intensity, severe postoperative complications, and hospital stays, and improve patient's satisfaction [13] with the advantages of small wound, little bleeding, quick recovery, cosmetic, and so on. [14,15] However, the patient still experience moderate pain after surgery (the NRS score is between 4 and 7 points).…”

“…(3) We used epidural block, which was effective to decrease the difference of pain between laparoscopic and open surgeries [6]. An epidural block was used even in laparoscopic surgery because there are many studies to show its usefulness [7,8].…”

“…The main causes of postoperative respiratory dysfunction are abdominal pain, muscle spasms, and other reflexes that restrict the diaphragm and movement of the chest wall [1,2]. The characteristics of less pain and less damage to the abdominal wall associated with laparoscopic surgery might result in quicker recovery of respiratory function after surgery [2,9]. However, pneumoperitoneum may have an adverse effect on respiratory function [10][11][12].…”
