Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Survey period: 10 years from 1.1.2013 to 12.31.2022. Subjects: Among laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed at our hospital, including emergency surgeries, patients were managed under general anesthesia plus epidural anesthesia, and postoperative analgesia was mainly provided by epidural anesthesia. PCA status was recorded on the Coopdech Counter only in cases where a Coodech Balloonjector with PCA was used in this epidural analgesia procedure.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Laparotomy is excluded. General anesthesia maintenance was limited to desflurane, remifentanil, and rocuronium bromide, with other anesthetic methods excluded. Cases in which epidural anesthesia was not performed throughout the intraoperative and postoperative periods were excluded. Epidural analgesic areas were measured on the morning of the day following surgery, and cases with no apparent epidural analgesia, or cases of complete unilateral analgesia, or cases of what appeared to be dural perforation, as well as cases in which no rounds could be made on the morning of the day following surgery were also excluded.
