Ultrasound-Guided External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block Versus Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block For Perioperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy, duration of analgesia, and overall opioid consumption between the external oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Plane Block In Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Ultrasound-guided Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Plane Block (M-TAPA) is performed into the costochondral aspect at the 9th-10th costal level by injecting local anesthetics deep into the chondrium. It provides blockage of both the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the thoracoabdominal nerve. Studies show that M-TAPA block is effective for postoperative analgesia and other abdominal surgeries, but its effect on patients undergoing LSG surgery has not yet been studied. The hypothesis is that the M-TAPA block performed in patients undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) Operation would reduce opioid consumption in the first 24 hours period after surgery.

Effects of Assisted Robotic vs Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

This will be a prospective, obesity-registry based, single-blind randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Specific inclusion criteria are all patients eligible to undergo a Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) based on the current National Institute of Health (NIH) patient selection guidelines. Patients should be able to give consent, be deemed medically-cleared to undergo elective surgery, and tolerate general anesthesia. All enrollments and surgeries in this study will take place at the Cleveland Clinic Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. The study will consist of 2 interventions: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or robotic sleeve gastrectomy (RSG). The primary objective is early postoperative pain, but also surgeon ergonomics and patient quality of life will be compared. Additional outcomes include 30-day perioperative results, minor and major morbidities, serious adverse events, resolution of medical comorbidities, and weight loss in percent of excess weight lost (%EWL) at one year.

Postoperative Gastroesophageal Reflux Symptoms After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Based on the Presence of Preoperative Symptoms

This study aims to investigate the patterns of reflux symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy based on the presence or absence of preoperative gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.

Quality of Recovery in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Using Dexmedetomidine Infusion Versus Laparoscopic TAP Block in Combination With Paragastric Neural Block

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn which is better, combining Dexmedetomidine infusion and paragastric neural block or combining laparoscopic TAP block and paragastric neural block to enhance recovery after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will using paragastric neural block (PGNB) combined with dexmedetomidine infusion give better recovery or using PGNB combined with laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane (LTAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This will be assessed by: Recording how much opioids were consumed by the patients Hemodynamic stability of the enrolled patients Pain scores as given by the patient The quality of postoperative patient recovery How many patients encountered nausea or vomiting

Effect of Opioid-free Analgesia and Anesthesia on the Quality of Postoperative Recovery and Nausea Vomit in Patients Receiving Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

The purpose of the intraoperative use of opioids is to reduce the amount of sedative medication and to ensure effective analgesia. But pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience (a cognitive perception) that cannot occur with sufficient depth of anesthesia (even without opioids). So a more reasonable explanation for analgesia should be anti-nociception and the resulting inhibition of the response to surgical stress. Since multiple mediators are involved in nociceptive pathways, antinociception can also be acquired through multiple mechanisms. However, there is no single ideal harm drug to replace opioids, which often requires two or more drugs to meet clinical needs. While regional block attenuates the stress response to surgery and sympathetic activation because of afferents to block nociceptive stimuli, and has an important role in the implementation of OFA. Combined with the clinical characteristics of the LSG, investigators developed the transverse abdominis fascia block (transversus abdominis plane TAP) in combination with esketamine (esketamine), dexmedetomidine (dexmedetomidine, DEX) of opioid-free anesthesia (opioid free anesthesia, OFA) and the analgesic regimen (TEDOFA), Reduce patient pain scores, nausea and vomiting after LSG based on perfect analgesia and adequate anti-sympathetic response, As well as the other complications, Promote the accelerated postoperative recovery of patients undergoing LSG, And reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative chronic pain.

Laparoscopic Guided Peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block With Bupivacaine Versus Local Wound Infiltration on Post-op Opioid Use in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare laparoscopic guided peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block and bupivacaine versus local wound infiltration effect on reducing post-op opioid use in Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Can laparoscopic guided peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block reduced post operative morphine usage when comparing with local wound port site infiltration. Participants will be randomize into 2 group * peri-wound Transversus Abdominis Plane Block * local wound port site infiltration
