Randomized Controlled Trial
[Pain management after hemorrhoidectomy. Patient-controlled analgesia vs conventional pain therapy].
The aim of this randomized non-blinded study was to assess the pain management after hemorrhoidectomy using patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). ⋯ Pain after hemorrhoidectomy can be reduced within the first 24 h using PCA. Patients are significantly more satisfied with PCA than with standard medication.
