| Abstract [eng] |
Backgound / objective Epidural analgesia provides superior analgesia with a lower incidence of postoperative ileus as compared with systemic opiate analgesia in open colorectal surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of epidural analgesia on the outcome after colorectal surgery. Patients and methods Fifty patients were enrolled in this investigation. Open colorectal resection was performed for all these patients. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups: the study group (T) and the control group (K). Epidural analgesia was used for 25 patients of group T, and intravenous-intramuscular analgesia was used for 25 patients of group K. Consumption of narcotic analgesics, pain intensity, gastrointestinal recovery time and solid food tolerated time were investigated. Results There were no significant differences in the type of operations and preoperative patients’ characteristics between the groups. Consumption of narcotic analgesics was lower in group T, and analgesia was more effective in the epidural group. The mean time of peristalsis and solid food tolerance was earlier in group T as compared with group K. Conclusion Epidural analgesia provides a significant benefit as regards analgesic consumption, postoperative pain relief and the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing open colorectal resection. |
