Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Perioperative local instillation of ropivacaine for postoperative pain relief after surgery on extremities].
The relief of postoperative pain remains one of the most important goals for adequate surgical patient care. ⋯ By the presented method, the surgeon actively contributes to a significant reduction in postoperative pain and analgesic consumption. Furthermore, the patient's benefit is reflected by higher satisfaction with the pain management. Complications due to toxic plasma levels are not seen.
