摘要
To introduce a new procedure, careful evaluation of its effects must be undertaken to assess its impact. Laparoscopic procedures in children are a relatively new phenomenon. A reduction in analgesia is a frequently quoted benefit of a laparoscopic procedure. The introduction of laparoscopic fundoplication into our surgical armoury lead us to evaluate the analgesia requirements of a laparoscopic procedure compared to conventional surgery. Comparative analysis of the analgesia requirements of 40 fundoplication procedures (20 laparoscopic, 20 open) was undertaken. All the pain-relief data was prospectively documented by a pain team as part of an ongoing hospital audit. This pain team was unaware of the comparative study, but were assessing the quality of analgesia within the hospital trust. The total amount of morphine analgesia required was similar for both laparoscopic and open surgery (0.432 +/- 0.28, 0.427 +/- 0.28 mg/kg). The period for which analgesia was required was significantly less in the laparoscopic group (1.2 +/- 0.46, 2.7 +/- 0.67 days; *p = 0.03), yet the requirement for morphine during the first 24 hours was greater in the laparoscopic group (0.399 +/- 0.19, 0.22 +/- 0.11 mg/kg, *p = 0.02) despite similar NSAID requirements (18 +/- 17.28, 18 +/- 20.16 mg/kg, respectively). The benefit of a laparoscopic over an open fundoplication would appear to be in the decreased duration of pain, as indicated by the decreased duration of analgesia following surgery.
