Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Intraoperative Remifentanil consumption

    The amount of remifentanil administered will be calculated based on the amount of the consumed mix and reported as total mcg and mcg/kg/min.

    duration of the anesthesia

  • Intraoperative consumption of the halogenated agent (sevoflurane)

    The anesthetic machine will determine the administered amount of sevoflurane (Dräger Primus) which will be reported in ml/min.

    duration of the anesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • recovery from anesthesia measured by the Modified Aldrete Scale

    one hour after surgery

Study Arms (2)

PG-ANB performed at the outset of LSG

EXPERIMENTAL

PG-ANB is performed early in the procedure as a first step before starting the sleeve gastrectomy.

Other: PG-ANB performed at the outset of LSG

PG-ANB performed at the end of LSG

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

PG-ANB is performed at the end of the sleeve gastrectomy

Other: PG-ANB performed at the end of the LSG

Interventions

The paragastric lesser omentum neural block is performed with a 25-gauge needle attached to a venous catheter extension introduced through the left 12-mm port. The needle is capped during its introduction, and the cap is removed inside the abdomen using a grasper and kept under direct vision. Infiltration of 20 mL of non-diluted 0.5% bupivacaine is performed at six levels with careful aspiration preceding fluid infiltration. Four areas are adjacent to the vagus nerves and branches, and two are in the vicinity of the common hepatic and left gastric arteries. This is performed at the outset of the LSG.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • all adult patients scheduled for LSG at each participating institution.

You may not qualify if:

  • the inability to perform a PG-ANB because of anatomical difficulties
  • the need for revisional surgery
  • the need for concomitant hiatal hernia repair or other surgical procedures
  • conversion to open surgical procedures
  • allergies to local anesthetics or medication described in the anesthesia protocol
  • intraoperative complications (e.g., visceral or vascular perforations)
  • anesthesia-related complications requiring admission to intensive care
