[New aspects in postoperative pain therapy].

This review summarizes and critically appraises important and clinically relevant publications dealing with postoperative pain therapy. Several consequences can be drawn from these studies: i) women anticipate postoperative pain more realistically and it occurs more often than in man; however, pain intensity and analgesic consumption are not different; ii) placebos elicit psychological phenomena (e. g. expectation) that trigger neurobiological processes (e. g. activation of endogenous opioid system); iii) COX-2 inhibitors increase the risk for thromboembolic complications (e. g. myocardial infarction, apoplex, pulmonary embolism) and perioperative mortality in patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass surgery; iv) NSAID as supplement to postoperative PCIA with opioids reduce the risk for PONV and sedation; v) preoperative administration of gabapentin reduces preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain; vi) epidural catheters situated at the site of major spinal surgery are promising approach to provide efficient postoperative analgesia; vii) in the literature contradictory results have been reported regarding the effect of perioperative acupuncture on intra- and postoperative consumption of anesthetics or analgesics; acupuncture appears to decrease the incidence of PONV, but no reduction in the postoperative use of antiemetic agents has not been shown yet; viii) laparoscopic versus open colectomy in patients with colon carcinoma results in prolongation of surgery, reduction of postoperative pain and analgesics, earlier mobilization and a reduced hospital stay, if conventional systemic opioid-based pain therapy was used postoperatively.
