The effect of neuromuscular reversal agent on postoperative pain after laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery: Comparison between the neostigmine and sugammadex.

ABSTRACT: Use of sugammadex for neuromuscular block reversal is associated with fewer postoperative complications than neostigmine; however, the effects on postoperative pain outcomes are largely unknown. In this retrospective study, we investigated the relationship between neuromuscular reversal agents and postoperative pain-related outcomes following laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery.We reviewed the electronic health records of patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery between January 2010 and June 2017. Patients were divided into a sugammadex group and a neostigmine group, according to the neuromuscular block reversal agent used. We compared the pain outcomes in the first 3 days postoperatively (POD 0-3), length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo g
