A novel opioid-sparing method for post-laparotomy pain management in gynaecologic oncology patients
Midline laparotomy incisions often result in significant postoperative pain due to nociceptive stimulation of the skin, musculofascial layers and peritoneum. This pain can lead to tachycardia, tachypnoea, decreased intestinal motility, and stress responses such as hyperglycaemia and increased corti...

| Summary: | Midline laparotomy incisions often result in significant postoperative pain due to nociceptive stimulation of the skin, musculofascial layers and peritoneum. This pain can lead to tachycardia, tachypnoea, decreased intestinal motility, and stress responses such as hyperglycaemia and increased cortisol production.1 Poor pain control contributes to prolonged hospitalisation, increased emergency visits, readmissions and reduced patient satisfaction.2 |
