Perioperative analgesia strategies in fast-track pediatric surgery of the kidney and renal pelvis: lessons learned.
Effective analgesia is essential for the success of fast-track (FT) pediatric surgery. Aim of the study was to achieve an optimal analgesia protocol for a comfortable postoperative course and early mobilization in children undergoing urological procedures. ⋯ The modified analgesia protocol FT II leads to earlier and more effective pain reduction, lower use of opioids and fewer side effects than the previously used protocol FT I. Hence, modification of analgesia in pediatric urology is essential.
