Evidence-based management of pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a PROSPECT review update

Abstract: We recommend basic analgesic techniques: paracetamol + NSAID or cyclooxygenase-2 specific inhibitor + surgical site local anaesthetic infiltration. Paracetamol and NSAID should be started before or during operation with dexamethasone (GRADE A). Opioid should be reserved for rescue analgesia only (GRADE B). Gabapentanoids, intraperitoneal local anaesthetic, and transversus abdominis plane blocks are not recommended (GRADE D) unless basic analgesia is not possible. Surgically, we recommend low-pressure pneumoper… Show more

“…Pain accounts to 4.7% as the reason for unexpected overnight stay in a planned daycase laparoscopic cholecystectomy (5) . At the same time, the recent PROSPECT (PROcedure SPECific Postoperative Pain Management) Working Group 2018 has recommended port site infiltration along with NSAIDS and paracetamol as the preferred mode of analgesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (1) .…”

“…Our study didn't include the intraperitoneal instillation of local anesthetic and dexmedetomidine which would have benefitted the patients in terms of postoperative analgesia. Recent literature evidence has recommended port site infiltration along with NSAIDS and paracetamol as the preferred mode of analgesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (1) .…”

“…Surgical wound and intra-articular injection with local anesthesia has also been demonstrated in some studies to be effective for postoperative analgesia. This was demonstrated in patients undergoing cesarean section [143], knee replacement surgery [144], and laparoscopic cholecystectomy [145]. However, there are reported negative studies in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy [146] and knee replacement surgery [147].…”
