Brief summary
The rationale of this study was to compare the efficacy of peri-tract bupivacaine infiltration with intravenous post-operative analgesia following PCNL in reference to the context with the previous studies so that we can adopt the better technique to curtail the post-operative pain.
Detailed description
The rationale of this study was to compare the efficacy of peri-tract bupivacaine infiltration with intravenous postoperative analgesia following PCNL in reference to the context with the previous studies so that we can adopt the better technique to curtail the post-operative pain.
Interventions
Group A patients were administered per-operative peri tract local anesthesia infiltration with 0.25% bupivacaine augmented by post-operative oral analgesia with a combination of Paracetamol 650 mg and Orphenadrine 50mg 6 hourly.
Group B patients were only given post-operative intra-venous analgesia by Paracetamol 1gm intravenous 8 hourly augmented with a combination of Tramadol 50mg and Dimenhydrinate 50mg as and when required
