Hallux valgus repair is associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the available literature and develop recommendations for optimal pain management after hallux valgus repair. A systematic review using PROcedure SPECific Postoperative Pain ManagemenT (PROSPECT) methodology was undertaken. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the English language from inception of database to December 2019 assessing postoperative pain using analgesic, anesthetic, and surgical interventions were identified from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database, among others. Of the 836 RCTs identified, 55 RCTs and 1 systematic review met our inclusion criteria. Interventions that improved postoperative pain relief included paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or cyclo-oxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, systemic steroids, ankle block, and local anesthetic wound infiltration. Insufficient evidence was found for the use of gabapentinoids or wound infiltration with extended release bupivacaine or dexamethasone. Conflicting evidence was found for percutaneous chevron osteotomy. No evidence was found for homeopathic preparation, continuous local anesthetic wound infusion, clonidine and fentanyl as sciatic perineural adjuncts, bioabsorbable magnesium screws, and plaster slippers. No studies of sciatic nerve block met the inclusion criteria for PROSPECT methodology due to a wider scope of included surgical procedures or the lack of a control (no block) group. The analgesic regimen for hallux valgus repair should include, in the absence of contraindication, paracetamol and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or cyclo-oxygenase-2 selective inhibitor administered preoperatively or intraoperatively and continued postoperatively, along with systemic steroids, and postoperative opioids for rescue analgesia.

Abstract Background: Inadequately managed postoperative pain after cesarean section has a number of consequences to the mother in the postoperative period. Different postoperative pain management modalities have been practiced after cesarean section over the years. The opioid based analgesics and land mark techniques have undesirable consequences, regional analgesia technique with ultrasound requires resource and expertise while different wound infiltration techniques are new techniques with minimal side effect and easy to administer. However, the effectiveness of each technique is uncertain and needs further investigation.Objective: This systematic review will provide the most effective wound infiltration technique to prevent undesirable adverse effects of opioids and untreated painMethod: A comprehensive search will be conducted in PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, Science direct, CINHAL, and LILACS without date and language restriction. All randomized trials comparing the efficacy of wound infiltration for postoperative pain management after cesarean section will be included. The data will be extracted with two independent authors in a customized format. The methodological quality of included studies will be evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The overall quality of the evidence will be determined by GRADEpro software. Trial Sequential Analysis will be conducted to investigate the necessity of further trials.Discussion: The incidence of postoperative acute as well as chronic pain is very high which has a tremendous impact on the mother, family, healthcare providers, and healthcare delivery. It is a basic human right to provide postoperative pain management to every patient that is feasible to everyone in terms of resources, technique, cost, and minimal adverse events profileRegistration: This systematic review protocol was registered in Prospero (CRD42021270710) on September 5, 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the evidence for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for retinal detachment by systematic review. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using multiple databases in July 2016 and September 2017. Two independent reviewers screened titles and abstracts and analyzed selected papers in detail. Included studies assessed patients undergoing vitreoretinal surgery for retinal detachment and described postoperative pain management. Risk of bias was assessed using the criteria outlined in the “risk of bias” tool in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Results: Nine randomized controlled studies comprising 517 patients met the inclusion criteria. Pain management included perioperative peribulbar, sub-Tenon, and retrobulbar anesthetic block; perioperative systemic anti-inflammatory and postoperative systemic and topical anti-inflammatory drugs; and ice compress. Pain scores were assessed with nominal, numerical, and visual analog scales. Risk of bias was low for 2 studies, unclear for 4 studies, and high for 3 studies. All studies reported better postoperative pain scores with the active treatment group except for a single study comparing retrobulbar chirocaine with and without clonidine. No serious adverse events were reported for any of the studies. Conclusion: Heterogeneity of studies did not allow for meta-analysis, but qualitative analysis suggests that pain relief can be achieved in the short term with a variety of treatment interventions. Additional study is required to specifically examine pain management strategies according to the characteristics of the anesthesia and surgery as well as the needs of the patient.

ABSTRACT Adequate postoperative pain management after an orthopaedic procedure is critical for patient well-being, acceptable clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Current literature suggests over 80% of surgical patients’ state they have moderate to severe pain within 24 hours postoperatively. The standard in pain management for more than 40 years has been opioids, medications known for their many adverse effects and limited efficacy. Recently, a multimodal approach to pain control has been sought after for optimal postoperative pain management. This approach utilizes multiple methods of pain management, such as nerve blocks, wound infiltration with local anesthetics and oral analgesics, to concomitantly reduce postoperative pain. Liposomal bupivacaine, EXPAREL, has been shown to reduce pain for as long as 96 hours postoperatively in select studies. These studies have included both hard and soft-tissue procedures. The goal of this review is to examine the literature on EXPAREL and provide a comprehensive presentation for orthopaedic surgeons to apply to their practices. Sabesan V, Jelsema TR, Lombardo DJ.
