    AbstractWith increasing awareness of both short- and long-term problems associated with liberal perioperative opioid administration, the need for routinely and clinically feasible alternatives is greater than ever. Opioid-free anesthesia-previously reserved for bariatric surgery-is receiving increasing attention in mainstream anesthesia. In this review, we present the truly multimodal concept of opioid-free anesthesia, which circumvents a number of opioid-related problems. For a concrete clinical perspective, we present in depth our opioid-free protocol for bariatric surgery. However, clinicians must be aware of potential problems related to opioid-free anesthesia.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
