Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

503
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

661
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Pain Management
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Persistent postpartum pain (PPP) is a prevalent issue following cesarean section (CS), impacting women's quality of life.
  • PPP is defined as pain of any origin that persists for at least three months after CS.
  • Understanding the incidence and risk factors for PPP is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of persistent postpartum pain (PPP) in women undergoing elective cesarean section (CS).
  • To identify and analyze risk factors associated with the development of PPP.
  • To assess the impact of PPP on women's functional status.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • An electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) tool was utilized to collect data on pain perception, presence, and severity.
  • Data included pain during pregnancy, postoperative pain scores (Numeric Rating Scale - NRS), and incidence of PPP.

Main Results:

  • A significant incidence of PPP was observed in 32.37% of women after elective CS.
  • Key risk factors identified include previous surgery (OR=1.487), pain during pregnancy (OR=1.481), and higher initial postoperative pain (OR=1.166 per NRS point).
  • Persistent back pain was a common complaint, reported by half of women experiencing PPP.

Conclusions:

  • Women with pre-existing pain conditions, prior surgical history, and severe postoperative pain face an elevated risk of PPP.
  • Persistent postpartum pain is not confined to the surgical site and can manifest in various body regions.
  • Effective identification and management strategies are needed for women at risk of persistent postpartum pain.
