| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Similar to all surgical procedures, patients have compelling postoperative pain. The patients experience severe abdominal and throat pain at the start of the postoperative period and seek for pain relief after laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopy is a procedure that is done on a rather frequent basis. Delivering anesthesia in this type of procedures may be difficult, especially in day case surgeries. Inadequate analgesia along with nausea and vomiting may be distressing for patients and raises the health care costs due to extended stay. Objective: This review article aimed to address strategies for anesthesia and analgesia for day-case laparoscopic procedures in this review. The concepts include multi-mode analgesia as well as oral administration wherever feasible. Methods: These databases were searched for articles published in English in 3 data bases: PubMed, Google scholar and science direct. Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) had been used such as laparoscopy and postoperative pain OR minimally invasive surgery and in peer-reviewed articles between December 2000 and Jun 2021. Documents in a language apart from English have been excluded as sources for interpretation. Papers apart from main scientific studies had been excluded (documents unavailable as total written text, conversation, conference abstract papers and dissertations). Conclusion: It is important to identify patients at the highest risk for severe and prolonged post-operative pain, and to have a proactive strategy in place for these individuals to reduce the intensity and of postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. | ||||
