Brief Summary

The high demand for bariatric surgery due to the increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide necessitate evidence-based clinical pathway such as Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery (ERABS). The paradigm of surgery has been shifted from open to laparoscopic in morbidly obese patients. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common procedure performed in our institute for sustained weight loss and amelioration of obesity-related comorbidities. Pain control in ERABS is one of the key factors for improved outcomes. Surgery induced acute postoperative pain, stress response and fatigue lead to prolonged convalescence and hospital stay. Optimal titrated safe postoperative pain management in LSG patients still remains a challenge.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative pain

    Pain will be measured postoperatively using numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 to 10 after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Where 0 is no pain and 10 is worst pain imaginable.

    From preoperative to day two postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Postoperative Morphine consumption

    From preoperative to day two postoperative

  • Length of hospital stay

    Through study completion, an average of 2 days.

Study Arms (2)

CPPLAI

EXPERIMENTAL

Masking Details
All patients, care providers in PACU \& ward (nurses), and outcome assessors (assistant anesthesiologist) will be blinded to the group allocation. Only the assigned anesthesiologist responsible for perioperative care and the surgeon performing preperitoneal local anesthetic infiltration will be aware of the group allocation to treat any unwanted side effects during and after the operation.

Model Details: 117 adult patients scheduled for Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) will be recruited in this prospective clinical study. The patients will be divided into two groups; group-1 (CPPLAI) (n= 59) will receive intraoperative combined periportal and preperitoneal bupivacaine 0.25% 2-3 mg/kg diluted in 40 ml normal saline and group 2 (placebo) (n= 58) periportal and preperitoneal 40 ml of sterile water will be injected.
