Abstract EN
The management of postoperative pain is a key to patient early recovery, in particular, where the surgery was performed to benefit another human being.
In recent years it has been recognized that multimodal analgesic methods are superior for postoperative pain relief.
It is also imperative to remember that inadequately managed acute postoperative pain opens the doorway to possible suffering from chronic postoperative pain later.
Although the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has reduced the disincentives associated with open surgery, still significant percentage of donors suffers from postoperative pain.
In the UK, patient-controlled analgesic system (PCAS) using morphine for postoperative pain relief is being used in majority of the transplant centres.
Though opioids provide good analgesia, they are far from being an ideal analgesic due to their adverse effects.
This paper pragmatically looks in depth on different modalities of pain management in patients undergoing laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy.
