Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequent unappealing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) sequel. The study's purpose was to determine the prevalence, risk factors of PONV, and management of PONV after LSG. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter retrospective study included patients with morbid obesity who had LSG between January 2022 and April 2023. The age range for LSG was 16 to 65 years, and the eligibility requirements included morbid obesity according to international guidelines. RESULTS PONV was experienced by 74.6% of patients who underwent LSG at 6 h postoperative. Multivariate analysis revealed that female gender, smokers, preoperative GERD, gastropexy, and severity of pain were found to be independent risk variables of the development of PONV, while antral preservation, opioid-free analgesia, and intraoperative combined analgesia were found to be independent protective variables against the development of PONV. Combined intravenous ondansetron and metoclopramide improved 92.6% of patients who developed PONV. Dexamethasone and antihistamines drugs are given for 42 cases with persistent PONV after using intravenous ondansetron and metoclopramide. Pain management postoperatively by opioid-free analgesia managed PONV. Helicobacter pylori status has no role in the development of PONV after LSG. CONCLUSION Female gender, smoking, presence of preoperative GERD, gastropexy, and severity of pain were found to be independent risk variables of the development of PONV, while antral preservation, opioid-free analgesia, and intraoperative combined analgesia were observed to be independent protective factors against the occurrence of PONV. Combined intravenous ondansetron and metoclopramide improved PONV. Dexamethasone and antihistamines drugs are given for persistent PONV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid-free analgesia (OFA) may mitigate opioid-related harms after outpatient general surgery; however, the comparative effectiveness of this approach should be assessed in robust randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Undertaking an RCT on OFA raises important practical concerns, including surgeon and patient hesitation regarding pain management without opioids. We conducted a qualitative study to explore patients' and clinicians' perspectives and experiences with a pilot trial focused on OFA after outpatient general surgery. METHODS Patients undergoing outpatient abdominal and breast procedures were randomized to receive post-discharge opioid analgesia (OA) or OFA. Semi-structured interviews with patients and clinicians involved in the trial were conducted to elicit personal perspectives and experiences. Purposive sampling for maximum variation was used to recruit participants with diverse characteristics. Transcribed interviews were assessed using inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS Ten patients (5 abdominal, 5 breast) and 10 clinicians (6 surgeons, 2 anesthesiologists, 2 nurses) were interviewed. Five major themes emerged: readiness for trial engagement, pre-trial thoughts about the interventions, postoperative pain experiences, intervention acceptability, and trial refinement. Most patients were open to OFA. Clinicians expressed willingness to prescribe OFA, particularly after less invasive procedures and when using peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs). Concerns were raised regarding the adequacy of pain control and side effects of non-opioid drugs (e.g., NSAID-induced bleeding, kidney injury). Overall, participants were enthusiastic about the trial and recognized its relevance; clinicians praised the study design and organization; and patients valued the use of electronic questionnaires. Suggestions for improvements included preventing potential bias arising from the use of PNBs (i.e., via standardization or stratification) and reducing patient burden (i.e., decreasing postoperative questionnaires). CONCLUSION Patients and clinicians who participated in a pilot RCT generally accept the clinical equipoise between OA versus OFA after outpatient general surgery and recognize the need for methodologically robust trials to inform evidence-based analgesia prescribing.

Thoracolumbar Interfascial Plane Block Results in Opioid-Free Postoperative Recovery After Percutaneous/Endoscopic Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Surgery. World Neurosurg 2021; 153:e473-80. [PMID: 34242827 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2021.06.152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate efficacy in reducing postoperative pain and opioid analgesia of a novel interdisciplinary strategy combining preoperative thoracolumbar interfascial plane (TLIP) block and percutaneous/endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery and to determine time to first postoperative ambulation and hospital length of stay. METHODS In this retrospective review, 42 patients who underwent elective single-level percutaneous/endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery between 2015 and 2021 were divided into 2 groups: TLIP group with 17 patients who underwent TLIP block and non-TLIP group with 25 patients. Both groups received the same postoperative analgesia with morphine as patient-controlled rescue medication. Visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores were evaluated. Statistical evaluation was performed with Student t test. RESULTS In contrast to the non-TLIP group, in the TLIP group, postoperative mean visual analog scale back score and mean Oswestry Disability Index score significantly decreased from 6.6 to 3.3 (P < 0.01) and 32.8 to 23.6 (P < 0.01), respectively, at hospital discharge. No differences were found between the groups at 1 month. Overall mean follow-up time was 29 ± 18 months (range, 3-78 months). Patients in the non-TLIP group were administered a median postoperative 24-hour morphine dose equivalent of 23 mg (range, 8-31 mg), while patients in the TLIP group did not require opioid analgesia (P < 0.01). Patients in the TLIP group started postoperative ambulation at a median of 4.1 hours (range, 2.5-26 hours) with a median hospital length of stay of 24 hours (range, 20-48 hours) (P = 0.112). CONCLUSIONS TLIP block significantly improves patient outcome at hospital discharge after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion surgery without postoperative administration of opioids. A prospective study is recommended to confirm our preliminary results.
