Ultrasound-Guided Regional Anesthesia vs Intravenous Buprenorphine for Postoperative Pain Management in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: A Narrative Review
- 8 enero, 2026
- Revisión narrativa, Volumen 5
Abstract
Abstract: Bariatric surgery poses a multifaceted challenge for anesthesiologists; however, there is a concomitant requirement to provide adequate perioperative pain control. It is commonly associated with severe postoperative pain, which may lead to ventilatory, endocrine, hemodynamic, immunologic, and other complications. Effective analgesic management is therefore of paramount importance to reduce postoperative complications and length of hospital stay. Various postoperative analgesic techniques have been described, ranging from intravenous opioid-based regimens to neuraxial techniques and, more recently, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques. These approaches provide effective abdominal analgesia through the administration of local anesthetics at appropriate concentrations. Consequently, a multimodal analgesic strategy combining different interventions— such as the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB)—is recommended, while the use of opioids for postoperative analgesia should be reserved exclusively for rescue pain management following bariatric surgery.
Resumen
Resumen: La cirugía bariátrica representa un desafío en múltiples áreas para los anestesiólogos, sin embargo, existe un requisito concomitante de proporcionar alivio del dolor adecuado en el perioperatorio. Asociándose con dolor postoperatorio intenso, cuyo resultado puede provocar complicaciones ventilatorias, endocrinas, hemodinámicas, autoinmunes, entre otras. El manejo exitoso de la analgesia es de suma importancia para reducir las complicaciones postoperatorias y los días de estancia hospitalaria. Se han descrito distintas técnicas de analgesia postoperatoria, que van desde el tratamiento con opioides intravenosos, técnicas neuroaxiales y recientemente, el uso de técnicas regionales guiadas por ultrasonido, las
cuales proporcionan analgesia abodminal de manera eficiente, con el uso de anestésicos locales a concentraciones adecuadas, por lo tanto, se recomienda un enfoque multimodal que combine diferentes intervenciones como el bloqueo del plano transverso del abdomen (TAPB), al mismo tiempo que el uso de opioides como analgesia postoperatoria deberia de tratarse de manera reservada exclusivamente para manejo de analgesia de rescate posterior a la cirugía bariátrica.
