Comparison of Balloon Trocar versus Telescopic Dissection Method for TEP Inguinal Hernia Repair.
To compare the outcomes between two methods of dissection (balloon trocar vs. telescopic dissection) used in total extra-peritoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ Telescopic dissection was cheaper than balloon dissection. The bleeding values and operating time were similar between the two methods, but telescopic dissection caused more postoperative pain. Key Words: Inguinal hernia, Telescopic dissection, Balloon dissection, Total extra-peritoneal (TEP) surgery.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyDexamethasone as a ropivacaine adjuvant to pre-emptive incision-site infiltration analgesia in pediatric craniotomy patients: a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Dexamethasone added to incision-site infiltration has been routinely used to reduce pain after tonsillectomy in children. However, this has not been studied in pediatric craniotomy patients yet. We hypothesized that incision-site infiltration with a combination of ropivacaine and dexamethasone might provide superior analgesia to ropivacaine alone in pediatric craniotomy patients. ⋯ The addition of dexamethasone to ropivacaine for preoperative incision-site infiltration has better postoperative analgesic effect than ropivacaine alone in pediatric craniotomy patients.

Meta AnalysisThe effect of dexamethasone on pain control after thyroid surgery: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The effect of dexamethasone on postoperative pain after thyroid surgery remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of dexamethasone versus placebo on postoperative pain after thyroid surgery. ⋯ Perioperative dexamethasone is effective to reduce the pain, nausea and vomiting after thyroid surgery.
