Local bupivacaine infiltration significantly reduced pain after breast lumpectomy day surgery. Effective patient education and pain management are key for ambulatory surgery success.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • Day surgery for breast lumpectomy offers benefits but requires effective pain management.
  • Post-operative recovery and patient satisfaction are critical for the success of ambulatory surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of local bupivacaine infiltration on post-operative analgesic requirements in patients undergoing breast lumpectomy.
  • To assess patient outcomes, including pain levels, wound care queries, and willingness to repeat the procedure, following day surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 55 patients undergoing day surgery for breast lumpectomy were followed up.
  • Local infiltration with bupivacaine was administered to assess its effect on pain relief.
  • Post-operative follow-up included telephone contact to gather data on pain, wound care, and overall experience.

Main Results:

  • Local bupivacaine infiltration significantly reduced the need for analgesics during the recovery period.
  • Despite analgesics, 7.1% of patients reported severe pain, and 14.3% had wound care questions.
  • A high percentage of patients (78.6%) expressed willingness to undergo day surgery again.

Conclusions:

  • Local bupivacaine infiltration is effective in managing post-operative pain following breast lumpectomy day surgery.
  • Comprehensive patient education and robust post-operative analgesia are essential for establishing successful ambulatory breast surgery programs.
  • Regular post-operative follow-up is recommended for auditing clinical and social outcomes in day surgery patients.
