Abstract
Dealing efficiently with patients suffering from pain is a central medical task. Pain, as an important function in developmental physiology, warns against damage to the body caused by external noxious agents as well as internal malfunctions and requires special attention in modern medicine. Peri- and postoperative pain is known to have a negative influence on postoperative convalescence. Treatment of tumor-related pain represents another relevant challenge in uro-oncology and palliative medicine. The updated guideline on perioperative pain therapy and palliative medicine for patients with incurable diseases or cancer is dedicated to these two topics.

Comparison of efficacy of intercostal nerve block versus peritract infiltration with 0.25% bupivacaine in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: A prospective randomized clinical trial. Indian J Urol 2024; 40:37-43. [PMID: 38314072 PMCID: PMC10836456 DOI: 10.4103/iju.iju_276_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Postoperative pain following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) adds to the morbidity of patients requiring additional analgesia. Various modalities of pain control techniques, such as intercostal nerve block (ICNB) and peritract infiltration (PTI), are being studied for better pain management. This study compares the efficacy of ICNB with PTI for postoperative pain management. Methods A double-blinded, prospective, randomized control study was conducted, in which 0.25% bupivacaine, either ICNB or PTI, was given at the puncture site at the end of PCNL. The primary outcome was a comparison of postoperative pain score measured with resting Visual analogue Scale (r-VAS) and dynamic VAS (D-VAS) recorded at 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 10 h, 12 h, 24 h, and at discharge. Injection ketorolac was given as rescue analgesia. Secondary outcomes include time to first rescue analgesia and total analgesic requirement (TAR). Results Sixty patients were randomized into two equal groups with 63.3% male and 36.6% female, with a mean age of 37.25 ± 13.09 years. In Group ICNB, 24 (40%) and 6 (10%) patients and in Group PTI, 21 (35%) and 9 (15%) patients underwent standard and mini PCNL, respectively, in each group. All cases were PCNL doen in prone position. The mean R-VAS and D-VAS scores at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h were similar in both groups. The mean TAR was 56.84 ± 0.33.00 mg and 55.54 ± 0.29.64 mg of injection ketorolac in Group ICNB and PTI, respectively (P < 0.894). The time to first rescue analgesic demand were 7.11 ± 4.898 h and 6.25 ± 3.354 h (P < 0.527). Both the groups were comparable in terms of length of hospital stay, stone clearance rate, and complication rate. Conclusion The ICNB was as efficacious as PTI for postoperative pain control with 0.25% bupivacaine following PCNL.

Abstract
Background Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is an easy and safe method for postoperative analgesia. However its effect lasts only for several hours. This trial was to investigate the effectiveness of different doses of nalbuphine as an adjuvant to ropivacaine in ESPB for patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods Patients scheduled for PCNL were randomized into three groups and received ultrasound-guided ESPB at T10 level for postoperative analgesia. Each subject received 28 mL of 100 mg ropivacaine solution mixed with 2 mL of normal saline (Group R), 2 mL of 10 mg nalbuphine (Group RNL), or 2 mL of 20 mg nalbuphine (Group RNH). Primary outcome was the time to first opioid demand. Secondary outcomes were morphine consumption, VAS scores within 24 h postoperatively, rescue analgesic requirements, and length of hospital stay. Results The median [interquartile range, IQR] time to first opioid demand was significantly longer in group RNH (8.70 [6.90,14.85] h) than that of group R and group RNL (2.90 [2.00,6.30] h and 5.80 [2.95,7.00] h, respectively). VAS scores (either resting or active) within 24 h postoperatively were comparable between the three groups, with the most significant differences especially at 4, 6, 8 h. Morphine consumption at 24 h postoperatively was significant for R group vs RNH group (median difference, 9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.57 to 16.43; p = 0.02). Conclusions Adding 20mg nalbuphine to ropivacaine in ESPB could significantly improve the effect of analgesia and prolong the duration of nerve blocks for PCNL.

Abstract
Limited hospital resources and access to care during the COVID-19 pandemic led us to implement a quality-improvement study investigating the feasibility, safety, and costs of same-day discharge after PCNL. The outcomes of 53 consecutive first-look PCNL patients included in a same-day discharge protocol during COVID-19 were compared to 54 first-look PCNL patients admitted for overnight observation. Control group had a similar comorbidity profile. Demographics, operative details, 30 day outcomes and readmissions, complications, and cost were compared between the two groups. Same-day discharge and one-day admission post-PCNL patients did not have significantly different baseline characteristics. The study group were more likely to have mini-PCNL (81% vs 50%, p < 0.01). Operative characteristics including median pre-operative stone burden (1.4 vs 1.7 cm3, p = 0.47) and post-operative stone burden (0.14 vs 0.18 cm3, p = 0.061) were similar between the two groups. Clavien-Dindo complication rates were lower in the study group compared to controls (0 vs 7%, p = 0.045). Readmission rates (2 vs 4%, p = 0.569) and ED visits (4 vs 6%, p = 0.662) were similar between the two groups. Total cost ($6,648.92 vs $9,466.07, p < 0.01) was significantly lower and operating margin ($4,475.96 vs $1,742.16, p < 0.01) was significantly higher for the same-day discharge group. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy may be performed in select patients without an increase in short-term complications, ED visits, or readmissions. Patients undergoing mini-PCNL are particularly amenable to same-day discharge, however, standard PCNL patients should not be excluded from consideration. Avoiding overnight admission decreases total cost and increased hospital operating margin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multimodal analgesia regimens incorporating peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) have demonstrated reduced postoperative pain, opioid use, and recovery time in various disease states. However, this remains a subject of limited investigation in the percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) domain. In the face of an ongoing opioid epidemic and collective push to enhance prescribing stewardship, we sought to examine the potential opioid-sparing effect of PNB in PCNL. METHODS A systematic review of Embase and PubMed was performed to identify all randomized controlled trials evaluating the use of a PNB with general anesthesia (GA) versus GA alone for pain control following PCNL. Studies evaluating neuraxial (epidural and spinal) anesthesia and those without GA as the control arm were excluded. RESULTS Seventeen trials evaluating 1012 procedures were included. Five different blocks were identified and evaluated: paravertebral (n=8), intercostal nerve (n=3), quadratus lumborum (n=2), transversus abdominis plane (n=1), and erector spinae (n=3). 9/16 (56%) studies observed lower pain scores with PNB use throughout the 24-hour postop period. By comparison, improved pain scores with PNB were limited to the early (<6 hours) recovery period in 5 studies and 2 found no difference. Total analgesia and opioid requirements were significantly higher in the GA control arm in nearly all studies (12/14, 86%). Operative times were similar and there were no differences in rates of intercostal access or nephrostomy tube insertion between study arms in any trial. CONCLUSION While greater analgesic use with GA alone likely minimizes or obscures differences in patient-reported pain scores, PNB may offer a significant opioid-sparing analgesic effect during postoperative recovery after PCNL.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been found effective in providing postoperative analgesia following a myriad of surgeries. This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonography (USG) guided erector spinae plane block to provide postoperative analgesia following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods: This was a prospective, double-blinded, randomised parallel-group study conducted in patients undergoing PCNL. Patients in Group C (n = 33) received subcutaneous infiltration of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine at the incision site and Group B (n = 33) received USG guided ESPB with 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine postoperatively. Numeric rating scale (NRS) scores were assessed at intervals of 30 min, 60 min, then hourly for six h, followed by four-hourly up to 24 h. The primary objective of the study was to compare postoperative pain relief using the NRS score between the two groups. Secondary objectives were to compare the analgesic requirement and to assess the incidence of complications. Normally distributed data were expressed as mean and standard deviation and analysed using Student's t-test. Data following non-normal distribution were expressed as median and interquartile range and analysed using Mann- Whitney U-test. For categorical data, the Chi-square test was used. Results: NRS scores were lower in Group B than Group C. There was significant prolongation in time for first analgesia in Group B (12 h) compared to Group C (30 min). There was a significant reduction in total tramadol consumption at 24 h postoperatively in the ESPB group. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided ESPB is an efficacious analgesic technique with an opioid-sparing effect following PCNL.

Abstract
Background: We aimed to assess the efficacy of intercostal nerve block (ICNB) for pain relief after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods: An electronic search of the databases of PubMed, Science Direct, BioMed Central, CENTRAL, Embase, and Google Scholar was conducted. All types of studies conducted on adult patients undergoing PCNL, comparing ICNB with control or any other anesthetic method, and reporting postoperative pain outcomes were included. Results: Six studies were included. Studies compared ICNB with peritubal (PT) infiltration and with control. Pooled analysis of ICNB vs. PT infiltration indicated no difference between the two groups for pain scores at 6–8 h (MD −0.44; 95% CI −3.41, 2.53; I2 = 99%; p = 0.77), 12 h (MD −0.98; 95% CI −4.90, 2.94; I2 = 99%; p = 0.62) and 24 h (MD 0.16; 95% CI −0.90, 1.21; I2 = 88%; p = 0.77). Time for first analgesic demand was also not significantly different between the two groups. Meta-analysis of ICNB vs. control indicated statistical significant difference in pain scores between the two groups at 8 h (MD −1.55; 95% CI −2.60, −0.50; I2 = 47%; p = 0.04), 12 h (SMD −2.49; 95% CI −4.84, −0.13; I2 = 96%; p = 0.04) and 24 h (SMD −1.22; 95% CI −2.12, −0.32; I2 = 88%; p = 0.008). The total analgesic requirement in morphine equivalents was not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions: ICNB may be effective in reducing postoperative pain after PCNL. However, its efficacy may not be greater than PT infiltration. Current evidence is from a limited number of studies. Further, high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to provide robust evidence.

Abstract
Background Paravertabral blocks (PVB) are in use to adequately manage pain arising from a variety of operations on the thorax, abdomen or pelvis. PVB is straightforward, efficacious in operations performed. This study was undertaken to evaluate how efficacious ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block is when used in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCN). Methods A total of 44 patients, falling in categories I to III of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, and aged between 18 and 65 years, who were scheduled for PCN, were randomly distributed into two groups. The anaesthetic intervention group (PVB) contained 22 individuals, who were injected at level T8-T9 with 20 mL 0.25% bupivacaine as a single administration. In the control group C, also containing 22 individuals, the intervention was not carried out. The groups were compared after PCN in terms of opioid use, pain score, opioid adverse effects profile and the need for supplemental analgesia. Results Visual analogue scale pain scores whilst at rest or moving were lower at the level of statistical significance in the PVB group compared to controls at 2 and 4 h post-surgery. At 6 and 8 h post-surgery, the control group had a lower VAS score when moving, and this result reached statistical significance (p < 0.05). The controls used more opioid relief than the PVB group and had lower scores for satisfaction (p < 0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided PVB using bupivacaine and an in-plane technique provides effective analgesia in PNL. It is associated with high scores on patient satisfaction and minimal complications. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04406012. Registered retrospectively, on 27 May 2020.

Abstract
Background The postoperative analgesic effect of transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (QLB-TM) in patients following lower abdominal surgeries has been identified; however, the efficacy of QLB using the lateral approach (QLB-L) is still in debate. Therefore, this retrospective study was conducted to investigate the effect of a single-shot block with QLB-L on postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Methods The medical information of the patients undergoing PCNL was retrieved from the electronic charter system (Medisystem, Suzhou, China) in our Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital during the period of Jan/2019 to Jun/2019. Among the total of 57 patients, there are 17, 18, and 22 patients subjected to QLB-L, QLB-TM, or routine treatment, respectively. The primary observational parameter was to assess postoperative pain with visual analog scales (VAS) at rest 30 min after extubation, 24 h, and 48 h after surgery, respectively. The secondary observatory endpoints, including the consumption of intraoperative opioids, the cumulative dose of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the incidence of adverse events related to postoperative analgesia, were evaluated as well. Results The static VAS score at 24 h after surgery and the intraoperative consumption of sufentanil were significantly lower in patients receiving either intervention of QLB-L or QLB-TM as compared with those receiving routine treatment. However, one shot of QLB had no impact on VAS scores at 30 min post-extubation, 48 h after PCNL procedure compared with the patients receiving routine treatment. The percentage of non-ambulatory patients within 24 h post-PCNL was significantly higher in the QLB-TM group compared with the routine treatment group (P = 0.04). There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomit (PONV), itches, respiratory depression, the time for the first defecation, and the length of hospital stay (LOS) among the three groups. Conclusions QLB-L procedure may exert as equivalent as QLB-TM in terms of abrogating postoperative pain within 24 h post-surgery and decreasing intraoperative sufentanil consumption in patients undergoing PCNL procedure as well. The caution should be taken to avoid lower extremities weakness in the patients after QLB-TM within the first 24 h post-PCNL procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW A public health emergency has been declared in response to rising opioid addiction and opioid-related deaths in the United States. As kidney stones have been identified as an important source of initial and repeated opioid exposures, this review seeks to describe the scope of the problem and report relevant alternatives to opioid analgesia for stones. RECENT FINDINGS Recent literature summarizing the extent of opioid use among those with stones is reviewed. A number of opioid-minimizing strategies and analgesic regimens have been proposed and studied. A review of these modifications and alternatives is provided. SUMMARY Both symptomatic renal colic and surgical interventions to address stones may prompt need for analgesia. Reducing prescribed opioids reduces both patient use and risk of diversion. Modifications in surgical technique, administration of local anesthetics, and use of systemic nonopioid analgesics have all been successfully employed.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to compare the effect of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
under local infiltration anesthesia (PCNL-LIA) and general anesthesia
(PCNL-GA) to treat upper urinary tract calculi on clinical application
values. Methods Patients were randomly divided into the PCNL-LIA (16 patients) and PCNL-GA
(20 patients) groups. Data on safety, cost, complications, rate of residual
calculi, and prognosis were compared. Results The mean operation time in the PCNL-LIA group was less than that in PCNL-GA
group (100±7.7 versus 120±9.0 minutes). The mean length of hospital stay in
the PCNL-LIA group was shorter than that in the PCNL-GA group (6.9±0.5
versus 10.5±1.2 days). The rate of patients who required blood transfusion
because of blood loss during or after surgery was less in the PCNL-LIN group
than in the PCNL-GA group (13% versus 40%). The intervention rate in the
PCNL-GA group was higher than that in the PCNL-LIA group. Visual analogue
pain scale assessment showed that the PCNL-LIA group showed slightly more
pain than the PCNL-GA group. Conclusion PCNL-LIA is safer, faster, and more convenient, and it also provides the
benefits of a lower rate of blood loss and complications, lower cost, faster
recovery, and shorter hospital stay compared with PCNL-GA.

Abstract
Objective An effective pain control is important in early mobilization and returning to normal daily life following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operations. The use of an intraoperative local anaesthetic or postoperative analgesic has been reported for pain control in PCNL. Transmuscular quadratus block (QLB III) is a regional anaesthetic technique applied under ultrasound guidance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of QLB III on postoperative pain in PCNL. Methods This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was carried out at the Dr Ersin Arslan Training and Research Hospital between December 2016 and March 2017. The QLB III block was administered to a total of 44 patients who had undergone elective PCNL under spinal anaesthesia. While half of the patients (Group S, n=22) received 0.2 cc kg-1 of 0.9% saline, the other half (Group Q, n=22) received 0.2 mL kg-1 of 0.0125 isobaric bupivacain with QLB III. For all patients, the pain level was measured using the visual analog scale (VAS), and the morphine consumptions through patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) were recorded at the postoperative 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours. Results The postoperative VAS was found to be statistically significantly higher at the 8th, 12th, and 24th hour in Group S (p<0.05). The postoperative morphine consumption was determined to be statistically significantly higher at the 4th, 8th, 12th, and 24th hour in Group S (p<0.05). Conclusion The QLB III was observed to be effective in pain control and reducing morphine consumption during the postoperative 48 hours follow-up after PCNL.
