Résumé
Postoperative analgesia in SCOLA (subcutaneous onlay laparoscopic approach) surgery is traditionally based on intravenous opioids. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane (SCTAP) block on postoperative pain relief in the first 48 postoperative hours following SCOLA. From August 2017 to December 2019, 163 patients were eligible for the analysis. Postoperative analgesia was managed either with an intravenous tramadol continuous infusion (opioid group) or a multimodal opioid-sparing strategy based on bilateral SCTAP block (SCTAP group), according to the anesthesiologist's postoperative plan. After data collection, 103 patients were assigned post hoc to the SCTAP group and 60 patients to the opioid group. The primary outcome was the evaluation of postoperative pain, considering both the Numeric Rating Scale score and the percentage of patients with uncontrolled pain at 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours. Secondary outcomes were differences in the administration of ketorolac rescue analgesia and incidence of mild adverse effects. There were no significant differences in median Numeric Rating Scale at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours and ketorolac rescue dose consumption in both groups. Five patients (4.85% of a total of 103 patients) referred postoperative nausea and vomiting in the SCTAP group versus 10 patients (16.67% of a total of 60 patients) in the opioid group (P=0.02). Analgesia with SCTAP block seems to represent a feasible and efficient strategy for pain management in patients undergoing SCOLA surgery, allowing good quality analgesia, low opioids requirements, and reduced incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Postoperative analgesia in SCOLA (subcutaneous onlay laparoscopic approach) surgery is traditionally based on intravenous opioids. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane (SCTAP) block on postoperative pain relief in the first 48 postoperative hours following SCOLA.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
METHODS
From August 2017 to December 2019, 163 patients were eligible for the analysis. Postoperative analgesia was managed either with an intravenous tramadol continuous infusion (opioid group) or a multimodal opioid-sparing strategy based on bilateral SCTAP block (SCTAP group), according to the anesthesiologist's postoperative plan. After data collection, 103 patients were assigned post hoc to the SCTAP group and 60 patients to the opioid group. The primary outcome was the evaluation of postoperative pain, considering both the Numeric Rating Scale score and the percentage of patients with uncontrolled pain at 6, 12, 24, or 48 hours. Secondary outcomes were differences in the administration of ketorolac rescue analgesia and incidence of mild adverse effects.
RESULTS
RESULTS
There were no significant differences in median Numeric Rating Scale at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours and ketorolac rescue dose consumption in both groups. Five patients (4.85% of a total of 103 patients) referred postoperative nausea and vomiting in the SCTAP group versus 10 patients (16.67% of a total of 60 patients) in the opioid group (P=0.02).
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Analgesia with SCTAP block seems to represent a feasible and efficient strategy for pain management in patients undergoing SCOLA surgery, allowing good quality analgesia, low opioids requirements, and reduced incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
