Transversus abdominis plane block enhances analgesia and reduces opioid use after laparoscopic donor hepatectomy with intrathecal morphine: a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Introduction: Intrathecal morphine (ITM) provides effective analgesia for pure laparoscopic donor hepatectomy (PLDH); however, its analgesic effect may be insufficient during the immediate postoperative period. We evaluated whether adding bilateral transversus abdominis plane...

October 3, 2025Postoperative follow-up by automated text messaging versus telephone call in outpatient care with continuous regional analgesia: a randomized controlled feasibility trial
Abstract Background: Patients with continuous nerve blocks need structured follow-up, but daily phone calls are resource-intensive. Automated text messaging may offer a scalable alternative. Methods: In this randomized feasibility trial, 100 outpatients with continuous...
