“…A recent study by Kahokehr et al reported that instillation and infusion of ropivacaine provided reduced postoperative pain and less opioid analgesic requirements when compared to the placebo group following colonic resection [9]. However, a study by Stuhldreher et al concluded that intraperitoneal local anesthetic instillation did not improve postoperative pain scores or opioid requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal procedures [16]. Indeed, other previous studies reported little additional benefit to intraperitoneal bupivacaine on pain scores beyond 2 h postoperatively [17], or indeed no benefit at all [18].…”

“…Local infiltration of the wound and parietal peritoneum is another pain control tool that could benefit patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery [23,24]. Local infiltration using regular bupivacaine has not been shown to reduce pain scores, PACU time, postoperative opioid consumption, or length of stay [25]. Local infiltration using LB has been described for reducing postoperative pain and opioid consumption in hemorrhoidectomy, hernia, stoma reversals, and open colectomy procedures [26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…Other pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments might also be used in order to decrease morphine consumption. In adults patients intravenous lidocaine,[18] preoperative gabapentin[192021] or intraperitoneal or wound local anesthetics administration[18222324] have been previously found to decrease postoperative opioid requirement and improve postoperative pain relieve. However, their use in children is limited by the lack of evidences.…”
