Randomized clinical study on the analgesic effect of local infiltration versus spinal block for hemorrhoidectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives:

Postoperative analgesia and early recovery are important for hospital discharge. The primary objective of this study was to compare the analgesic effectiveness of perianal infiltration and subarachnoid anesthesia for hemorrhoidectomy. The secondary objective was to compare time to discharge, adverse effects and complications.

Design and setting:

Randomized, prospective and comparative study at Dr. Mário Gatti Hospital.

Methods:

Forty patients aged 18-60, in American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status category 1 or 2, were included. The local group (LG) received local infiltration (0.75% ropivacaine) under general anesthesia; the spinal group (SG) received subarachnoid block (2 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine). Analgesic supplementation cons
