Pre-incisional Infiltration With Ropivacaine Plus Diprospan for Relieving Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Surgery

Summary

Incisional infiltration is the simplest, safest, and most effective anesthesia method for preventing incision pain after laparoscopic surgery, but even using long-acting local anesthetics, the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia can only last for a relatively short period of time. Studies have shown that up to 80% of patients experience postoperative pain following laparoscopic surgery due to inflammation caused by surgical incisions and surrounding tissues, necessitating pharmacological relief. Inflammatory mediators released from the soft tissues around laparoscopic incisions not only significantly alters the chemical microenvironment at the peripheral terminals of nociceptors, directly inducing pain, but also sensitizes afferent fibers, contributing to peripheral sensitization. Numerous studies have shown that glucocorticoids not only can achieve anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory responses but also can prolong the duration of action of local anesthetics. Preemptive incisional infiltration using local anesthetics with corticosteroids which have potent local anti-inflammatory properties may play a key role in preventing or reducing postoperative pain. The objective of this trial is to determine whether preemptive incisional infiltration with ropivacaine plus diprospan is superior to ropivacaine alone in relieving postoperative pain for adults undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The investigators also compare the effects of the two intervention measures on postoperative pain management, patient safety, and recovery quality.
