Clinical TrialIntraoperative irrigation with bupivacaine for analgesia after orchiopexy and herniorrhaphy in children.
Effective postoperative analgesia is important, especially in pediatric surgery. The efficacy of intraoperative surgical wound irrigation with bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia was investigated in 90 children undergoing elective inguinoscrotal surgery. ⋯ Bupivacaine irrigation was simple and complication-free. We believe that the irrigation of surgical wounds with bupivacaine should be a routine procedure in elective inguinoscrotal surgery in children.
