Anesthetic Maintenance of Video-Assisted Endolaparoscopic Surgery for Female Infertility

Abstract

Objective: to provide a rationale for the use of ketorolac tromethamine (ketorol) as an analgesic component of general anesthesia during endoscopic gynecological surgery for infertility. The case records of 200 women aged 19 to 35 years, operated on for infertility, were retrospectively studied. All the patients were divided into 4 groups (50 patients in each). Group 1 used ketamine-seduxen anesthesia; Group 2 received dormicum-based ataralgesia; Group 3 had neuroleptanalgesia; Group 4 had diprivan anesthesia with pre-emptive ketorol analgesia. The anesthesia risk was referred as to ASA grade 1. All modes of anesthesia provided its adequacy. Among Groups 1-to-3 patients, 28—40% needed additional postoperative analgesia and 8—12% required postoperative artificial ventilation (AI); postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) occurred in 6—8% in these groups. Group 4 patients were in no need of additional analgesia and augmented AI; PONV did not occur. None of the anesthesia modes affected the hemostatic system. Preemptive analgesia with ketorol in combination with diprivan ensured adequate anesthesia during laparoscopic gynecological operations for infertility, caused no PONV, required no augmented postoperative AI or additional postoperative analgesia, and induced no hemorrhagic events. Key words: preemptive analgesia, ketorol, laparoscopic gynecological operations.
