Randomized Controlled Trial
Application of continuous incisional infusion of local anesthetic after major pediatric urological surgery: prospective randomized controlled trial.
The aim of the study was to determine efficacy of continuous incisional infusion of local anesthetic, ON-Q® pain relief system (Kimberly-Clark, Georgia), in improving postoperative pain, reducing narcotic requirement, and shortening recovery time after major pediatric urological surgery. ⋯ The ON-Q® system is a viable option for postoperative pain management in children undergoing urological surgeries. This technology significantly decreases the amount of maximal pain, and the need for systemic narcotic consumption.
