Effect of ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block on inflammatory cytokines and postoperative recovery after partial hepatectomy: a randomised clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stellate ganglion block (SGB) has been shown to reduce perioperative complications in various surgeries. Because laparoscopic techniques and instruments have advanced during the past two decades, laparoscopic liver resection is being increasingly adopted worldwide. Lesser blood loss, fewer postoperative complications, and shorter postoperative hospital stays are the advantages of laparoscopic liver resection, as compared to conventional open surgery. There is an urgent need for an effective intervention to reduce perioperative complications and accelerate postoperative recovery. This study investigated the effect of ultrasound-guided SGB on enhanced recovery after laparoscopic partial hepatectomy.

Methods

We compared patients who received SGB with 0.5% ropivacaine
