OBJECTIVE(S): The optimal postoperative analgesic regimen for hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery patients remains controversial. The primary objective of this single-center randomized trial was to compare thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) to intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) for adequacy of pain control over the first 48 hours after surgery. Secondary endpoints were anesthetic and surgical complications. Back to 2017 Program |
