Prolonged postoperative analgesia in abdominal surgery

One hundred and sixty-two patients operated on organs of lower part of abdominal cavity were studied. All the patients were divided into 3 groups depending on anesthesia method: general, epidural and spinal anesthesia. Efficacy of different methods of intrasurgical anesthesia for prevention of postoperative algetic syndrome and decrease of complications number was compared. It is demonstrated that spinal and epidural anesthesia ensure prophylaxis of postoperative algetic syndrome, but spinal anesthesia is the most simple, safe and cost-effective method.
