Randomized Controlled Trial
Analgesic effects of intrathecal morphine and bupivacaine during robotic-assisted surgery: A prospective randomized controlled study.
Limited data exist concerning the management of postoperative pain after robotic-assisted surgery. The present study was performed to investigate the efficacy of intrathecal morphine and bupivacaine to treat postoperative pain in adult women undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy. ⋯ Intrathecal morphine and bupivacaine to treat postoperative pain after robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy decrease total opioid consumption and NRS pain scores. This might be of great importance to diminish the rate of other serious disadvantages related to opioids.
