Intraperitoneal bupivacaine with or without incisional bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomy

Intraperitoneal administration of lidocaine or tramadol alone or in combination on postoperative pain after ovariohysterectomy in dogs

“…Intraperitoneal administration of bupivacaine in humans following ovariohysterectomy has also been effective (Ng et al, 2002). Intraperitoneal administration of bupivacaine has been reported effective in managing postoperative ovariohysterectomy in dogs (Campagnol et al, 2012;Guerrero et al, 2016;Lambertini et al, 2018) surgery (Campagnol et al, 2012). Intraperitoneal administration of ropivacaine (3.3 mg/kg) has also been effective after ovariohysterectomy in dogs (Lambertini et al, 2018).…”

“…Ovariohysterectomy is one of the most common surgeries in small animals (Campagnol et al, 2012;Carpenter et al, 2004;Guerrero et al, 2016). Among the upsides of this surgery, mention can be made of population control, prevention of diseases related to the reproductive system and decrease in the unpleasant behaviours associated with sex hormones (Pereira et al, 2018).…”

“…Furthermore, intraperitoneal administration has been employed to control abdominal postoperative pain in human and veterinary medicine. For intraperitonael administration, a local anaesthetic or analgesic is applied to the surgical site and the viscera before suturing the abdominal wall (Carpenter et al, 2004;Ng et al, 2002;Golubovic et al, 2009;Campagnol et al, 2012;Guerrero et al, 2016;Lambertini et al, 2018;Chilkot et al, 2019). Today, intraperitoneal administration of topical anaesthetics is a valuable and approved method for controlling postoperative pain (Chilkot et al, 2019).…”

“…Today, intraperitoneal administration of topical anaesthetics is a valuable and approved method for controlling postoperative pain (Chilkot et al, 2019). Several studies have shown that the intraperitoneal administration of lidocaine or bupivacaine is sufficient for pain control after surgery in dogs (Campagnol et al, 2012;Carpenter et al, 2004;Chilkot et al, 2019;Guerrero et al, 2016;Lambertini et al, 2018). Furthermore, over the recent decades, several clinical studies have reported effective response to the combined use of opioid drugs such as tramadol or morphine and topical anaesthetics, such as bupivacaine, after open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery in humans.…”

Intraperitoneal and incisional analgesia in small animals: simple, cost‐effective techniques

“…2010), the results were likely confounded by the concurrent use of other analgesics such as morphine and carprofen (Kalchofner Guerrero et al . ). In a follow‐up study, the IP administration of ropivacaine 0.75% (3 mg/kg) or bupivacaine 0.5% (3 mg/kg) without incisional anaesthesia provided similar postoperative analgesia when administered in combination with morphine and carprofen (Lambertini et al .…”
