Celiac PlExus Block To Reduce OpioID Consumption Following Hepato-pancreato-biliary Mini-invasive Surgery

Study Overview

Celiac plExus Block to Reduce OpioID Consumption Following Hepato-pancreato-biliary Mini-invasive Surgery

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

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.
