Evaluating the Analgesic Efficacy of Oxycodone Hydrochloride in Pediatric Laparoscopic Cryptorchidism Surgery

Sponsor: Shantou University Medical College

Summary

Cryptorchidism surgery is a common pediatric procedure, often performed laparoscopically to reposition undescended testes into the scrotum. This technique involves manipulation and traction of the spermatic cord, which can lead to emergence agitation and short-term postoperative pain. Managing these symptoms effectively is essential for enhancing perioperative comfort and supporting faster recovery in children. Oxycodone hydrochloride, a newer opioid with established analgesic effects in adult surgery, has been less studied in pediatric contexts. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of administering 0.1 mg/kg oxycodone hydrochloride 30 minutes before the end of laparoscopic cryptorchidism surgery in children aged 1 to 6. The study will assess outcomes such as anesthesia emergence time, extubation time, incidence of emergence agitation, postoperative analgesia, and nausea and vomiting. The goal is to determine if oxycodone hydrochloride could be an effective choice for pain relief in pediatric laparoscopic surgery, potentially reducing pain and complications, and providing clinical evidence to optimize anesthesia management for safer and more satisfactory pediatric surgical care. This research aspires to contribute to the guidelines for pediatric anesthesia, offering a scientific basis for the clinical application of oxycodone hydrochloride in children.
