Abstract

Introduction: Laparoscopic resection has become the standard surgical technique in treating colorectal cancer. This approach has many advantages over open surgery such as: faster recovery, lower postoperative pain with reduced postoperative pain scores and opioid requirements and shorter hospital-stay. Improving postoperative pain management by performing transversus abdominis plane block enhances some of the benefits of laparoscopic colorecat surgery. The aim of our study was to emphasize the role and the benefits of transversus abdominis plane block after laparoscopic colorectal resection. Material and Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was conducted at the Fundeni Clinical Institute in Bucharest, Romania, and received ethical approval from the institutional Ethics Committee. We included adult patients aged 18 to 85 years, classified as ASA physical status I-III, undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Exclusion criteria comprised contraindications to TAP block, the necessity for additional analgesic interventions, and specific medical conditions. The TAP block was performed under ultrasound guidance, utilizing 0.25% ropivacaine administered bilaterally. Postoperative pain was evaluated through the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at intervals of 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 48 hours. Analgesic consumption was meticulously recorded, focusing on opioids, paracetamol, tramadol, and Neodolpasse. Results: The findings indicated a significant reduction in paracetamol consumption within the TAP block group, evidenced by a p-value of 0.011, which suggests lower analgesic requirements compared to the control group. Furthermore, the median time to the first analgesic request was significantly prolonged in the TAP block group, recorded at 8 hours (IQR: 0.00) versus 5 hours (IQR: 1.00) in the control group, with a p-value of 0.001. These results imply that the TAP block not only enhances analgesia but also extends the interval before additional analgesics are necessary. Conclusions: The TAP block demonstrates substantial efficacy in multimodal analgesia, significantly reducing both opioid and non-opioid analgesic consumption while improving patient comfort and satisfaction. These findings emphasize the TAP block's effectiveness in addressing somatic pain in the abdominal region. Integrating regional anesthesia techniques into standard surgical protocols is essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Future randomized controlled trials are warranted to further validate these findings and elucidate the underlying mechanisms involved.

经腹平面阻滞在腹腔镜结直肠癌术后镇痛中的应用。
腹腔镜切除术已成为治疗结直肠癌的标准手术技术。与开放手术相比,这种方法有许多优点,例如:恢复更快,术后疼痛更小,术后疼痛评分和阿片类药物需求减少,住院时间更短。通过实施横腹平面阻滞改善术后疼痛管理,提高了腹腔镜结直肠癌手术的一些好处。本研究的目的是强调腹腔镜结肠直肠癌切除术后经腹平面阻滞的作用和益处。材料和方法:这项前瞻性观察性队列研究在罗马尼亚布加勒斯特的Fundeni临床研究所进行,并获得了机构伦理委员会的伦理批准。我们纳入了年龄在18至85岁之间、身体状态为ASA I-III级、接受择期腹腔镜结直肠手术的成年患者。排除标准包括TAP阻滞的禁忌症、额外镇痛干预的必要性和特定的医疗条件。TAP阻滞在超声引导下进行,双侧使用0.25%罗哌卡因。术后疼痛通过视觉模拟评分(VAS)在间隔1、2、4、8、12和48小时进行评估。仔细记录镇痛药的使用情况,重点是阿片类药物、扑热息痛、曲马多和Neodolpasse。结果:研究结果表明,在TAP阻断组中,扑热息痛的消耗显著减少,p值为0.011,这表明与对照组相比,镇痛需求较低。此外,TAP阻断组第一次镇痛请求的中位时间显著延长,记录为8小时(IQR: 0.00),而对照组为5小时(IQR: 1.00), p值为0.001。这些结果表明TAP阻滞不仅增强了镇痛效果,而且延长了需要额外镇痛药之前的间隔时间。结论:TAP阻滞在多模式镇痛中具有显著的疗效,可显著减少阿片类和非阿片类镇痛药物的消耗,同时提高患者的舒适度和满意度。这些发现强调了TAP阻滞在解决腹部区域躯体疼痛方面的有效性。将区域麻醉技术纳入标准手术方案对于优化患者预后至关重要。未来的随机对照试验有必要进一步验证这些发现并阐明所涉及的潜在机制。

期刊介绍: Chirurgia is a bimonthly journal. In Chirurgia, original papers in the area of general surgery which neither appeared, nor were sent for publication in other periodicals, can be published. You can send original articles, new surgical techniques, or comprehensive general reports on surgical topics, clinical case presentations and, depending on publication space, - reviews of some articles of general interest to surgeons from other publications. Chirurgia is also a place for sharing information about the activity of various branches of the Romanian Society of Surgery, information on Congresses and Symposiums organized by the Romanian Society of Surgery and participation notes in other scientific meetings. Letters to the editor: Letters commenting on papers published in Chirurgia are welcomed. They should contain substantive ideas and commentaries supported by appropriate data, and should not exceed 2 pages. Please submit these letters to the editor through our online system.
