Comparative analysis of analgesic efficacy and functional recovery in open pancreaticoduodenectomy: a randomized controlled trial of local anesthetic wound infiltration, transversus abdominis plane block, and intramuscular electrical stimulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with severe postoperative pain. Optimized pain management can potentially elevate patients' postoperative quality of life. This study focused on comparing the analgesic efficacy and subsequent functional recovery of three techniques, continuous local wound infiltration (LWI), four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane (4QTAP) block, and needle electrical twitch obtaining intramuscular stimulation (NETOIMS), in patients subjected to open PD.

Methods

This is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled study. Among a total of 80 eligible patients, 72 were randomized into the LWI, 4QTAP block, or NETOIMS groups for postoperative pain management. The primary outcome measured was the pain score, which was recorded on po
