The most commonly encountered complication after haemorrhoidectomy is post-operative pain. Relief of this pain may aid earlier recovery. A literature search was performed examining the different surgical and medical agents for the relief of post haemorrhoidectomy pain using Pubmed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane library databases. Pain can be relieved by surgical or medical agents. Surgery incorporates a risk of incontinence. A number of studies examine the role of medical agents.A variety of surgical techniques and medical agents are available to the clinician in the treatment of post haemorrhoidectomy pain. Tailored management to individual patients should ensure appropriate symptomatic control and prompt recovery.

The severity of post-operative pain and the lack of efforts in relievingit have led to the involvement of Anaesthesiologists in the management of post-operative and acute pain. Parenteralopiates have been utilized for post-operative pain management. The identification of the opioid receptors on substantiagelatinosa has provided an alternate route i.e 1 the epidural route - for administering opiates. Objectives: To evaluateand compare the efficacy and side effects of parenteral Buprenorphine with those of Extradural Buprenorphine.Setting: Department of Anaesthesia, District Headquarter Hospital, Faisalabad. Period: The data was collected duringthe last three and a half years. Materials and Methods: Sixty adult patients of either sex and ages ranging from 35-45years, who underwent lower abdominal surgery, were randomly selected for the study. They were equally divided intotwo groups. Group I patients were administered Buprenorphine 0.3 mg through the epidural catheter in extraduralspace. Group II patients were given Buprenorphine 0.3 mg intramuscularly. Results: Buprenorphine through theepidural route gives better analgesia with fewer side effects as compared with the parenteral route.

Background: Pain is the most common and most difficult problem faced by patients after operation. Due to inadequate management 30-70% patients suffer from post-operative pain. Acute pain resulting in chronic pain reduces quality of life and creates economic burden. Aim: To compare post-operative pain relief between infiltration of 0.25% bupivacaine into skin and subcutaneous tissue in the line of incision before incision and along edges of wound near completion of procedure. Study design: Randomized control trial Methodology: Sixty four patients were randomly divided into two groups i.e. (0.25% Bupivacaine 6 to 30ml) at the site of incision into skin and subcutaneous tissue Preincision (Group P) and (0.25% Bupivacaine 6 to 30ml) along the edges of wound at near closure of procedure (Group C). Intensity of pain was assessed on visual analogue scale in the recovery room, 3, 6 and 24 hours postoperatively.The time of first dose of rescue analgesia within 24 hours was also noted in both groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between two groups regarding age (p-value = 0.324), gender i.e. males (p=0.545) females (p=0.763) and duration of operation (P=Value=0.208). The mean time of rescue analgesia in Group P and Group C in minutes was 318.12±149.47 and 374.84±125.67 respectively (p value =1.5) reflecting no statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Postoperative analgesia and analgesic requirement do not differ significantly whether bupivacaine is infiltrated before incision or just before closure of wound.
