Posterior perineal block with ropivacaine 0.75% for pain control during and after hemorrhoidectomy

Abstract: The present study shows that PPB with 40 mL 0.75% ropivacaine (300 mg) was a simple, effective, and safe method to provide better postoperative analgesia than PCA alone following surgical hemorrhoidectomy. In addition, PPB was shown to significantly reduce opioid consumption intraoperatively and during the first postoperative day.

“…As in other studies, 13,14 we administered long-acting 0.75% ropivacaine, which is less toxic than bupivacaine. On the other hand, ropivacaine causes vasoconstriction, which limits its blood absorption.…”

“…Various methods to reduce postoperative pain in this procedure have included electrosurgical devices, such as diathermy, ultrasonic dissection, Ligasure Ò , and stapled hemorrhoidopexy [12], which diminish thermal injury to the subjacent tissue and reduce sphincter muscle [13], and the use of different forms of analgesia and anesthesia [14,15]. Numerous other attempts to control posthemorrhoidectomy pain have been reported, including the use of botulin toxin [16] and nitrates [17] to reduce internal sphincter spasm, metronidazole [18] to avoid bacterial fibrinolysis, or sucralfate [19] utilizing a mechanical barrier to favor wound epithelization or to improve pain control and patient comfort in the immediate postoperative course with infiltration of long-acting local anesthetic, pre-emptively or postoperatively [20,21].…”

“…Many surgical and anesthetic measures have been used to avoid or to lessen such. It is up to the anesthesiologist to adopt some measures recommending the use of certain medicaments [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] , preemptive analgesia [11][12][13][14][15] . Botulinic toxin injection can also be used in the internal sphincter 16 micronized fractions of flavonoids 17 and the transcutaneous electrical stimulation 18 .…”
