The aim of this retrospective study is to describe the different types of perioperative analgesia routinely used and to compare them to determine the more efficient one for early postoperative pain relief.
Laparoscopic appendectomy is a very common intervention in pediatric surgery. To improve outcomes, some teams have developed the use of single-site laparoscopic appendectomy (SILAP). Nevertheless, there is no consensus yet and no published data on the better perioperative analgesia, and different modalities including general intravenous analgesia, locoregional pre-operative analgesia and local analgesia can be used.
