Brief summary
The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of intraoperative celiac plexus block (CPB) to reduce opioid consumption following laparoscopic hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery
Detailed description
A bilateral CPB is convenient and safe to perform under the direct laparoscopic vision of the surgeons during surgery; however, perspective data are warranted. The investigators hypothesize that a bilateral CPB using 0.5% ropivacaine will improve the quality of recovery following a laparoscopic hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery. The primary endpoint is the Postoperative opioid use. Secondary endpoints include acute postoperative pain, opioid consumption, the incidence of postoperative nausea or vomiting (PONV), the 15-item quality of recovery questionnaire (QoR-15), length of post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, length of post-operative hospital stay, and chronic post-surgical pain at 90 d after surgery.
Interventions
Prior to the end of the laparoscopic surgery and any additional procedures, the bilateral celiac plexus block will be performed by the surgeon after identification of the aorta at the superior border of body of pancreas. A 22-gauge spinal needle will be inserted into the retroperitoneal fat on either side of the aorta under direct vision. Needle aspiration will be performed to exclude entry into vessels before administration of the interventional drug. The block will contain 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine hydrochloride + 1:400000 adrenaline.
