Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Comparison of Isolated Intravenous Analgesia, Epidural Analgesia Associated With Analgesia iv and Port-sites Infiltration With Bupivacaine Associated With Analgesia iv

NCT02662660 Phase 3 COMPLETED

A prospective randomized study of patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy between 2012 and 2015 will be performed. Patients will be divided into 3 groups: Analgesia iv exclusively (Group 1), epidural analgesia+analgesia iv (Group 2) and port-sites infiltration+analgesia iv (Group 3). Pain will be quantified by means of a Visual Analogic Scale and morphine rescue needs were determined 24 hours after surgery.
