Multimodal Pain Control in Abdominoplasty: A Systematic Review and Algorithm of Optimal Pain Management.
Aesthetic Surgery Journal
|August 15, 2024
Summary
Multimodal pain management effectively reduces opioid use and improves pain control in abdominoplasty patients. This approach incorporates nonopioid pain relievers and regional blocks for enhanced recovery.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Pain Management
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Abdominoplasty procedures have the highest rate of opioid prescriptions in plastic surgery.
- Plastic surgery patients face an elevated risk of opioid dependence.
Approach:
- A systematic review was conducted to analyze existing literature on multimodal pain control for abdominoplasty.
- 32 studies involving 2451 patients were evaluated for pain management strategies.
Key Points:
- Nontraditional, opioid-sparing analgesia demonstrated efficacy in all reviewed studies.
- Local infusion techniques showed 78% efficacy for pain improvement and reduced opioid usage.
- Regional blocks were effective in 87% for pain relief and 73% for decreased opioid use.
Conclusions:
- Multimodal pain regimens are crucial for opioid-sparing practices in abdominoplasty.
- Incorporating nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and transversus abdominis plane blocks can optimize pain management.

Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

01:15Opioid Analgesics: Synthetic and Semisynthetic Opioids
253
Synthetic and semisynthetic opioids are pivotal in pain management and tackling opioid addiction. Semisynthetic opioids, including morphinans (morphine derivatives), oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone, and hydromorphone, have improved pharmacokinetic profiles compared to morphine. Additionally, heroin and 6-MAM (6-Monoacetylmorphine) show better CNS penetration than morphine due to heightened lipid solubility. Hydromorphone, a potent opioid, undergoes hepatic metabolism to form the active...
