A comparative evaluation of robotic and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: a critical evaluation on the impact of postoperative pain and opioid requirements.
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery using laparoscopy on postoperative pain and opioid use are well established. Our goal was to determine whether patients who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass using a robotic approach (RA-RYGB) had lower postoperative pain and required less opioids than those undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L-RYGB). Secondary outcomes evaluated included length of stay, operative time, and readmissions.. This was a retrospective cohort study from a tertiary academic medical center. Patients who underwent L-RYGB or RA-RYGB between 5/1/2018 and 10/31/2019 were included. Cases with concomitant hernia repair, chronic opioid use, and those who did not receive a TAP block or multimodal pain control were excluded. Baseline demographics were compared. Inpatient and outpatient opioid use in Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME) and pain scores (10-point Likert scale) were compared.. There were 573 RY patients included (462 L-RYGB; 111 RA-RYGB). Median and maximum inpatient pain scores were similar for L-RYGB and RA-RYGB (3.0 vs 3.1, p = 0.878; 7.0 vs 7.0, p = 0.688). Median inpatient opioid use and maximum single day use were similar for L-RYGB and RA-RYGB (40.0 MME vs. 42.0 MME, p = 0.671; 30.0 MME vs 30.0 MME, p = 0.648). Both the outpatient prescribing of opioids (50.2% vs. 42.3%, p = 0.136) and outpatient opioid MME at 2 weeks (L-RYGB 30.0 MME vs. 33.8 MME, p = 0.854) were comparable between cohorts. Patient reported pain at 2-week follow-up was significantly higher for RA-RYGB (68.1%) than L-RYGB (55.6%) (p = 0.030). RA-RYGB had a higher rate of 30-day readmission and longer operative times compared to the L-RYGB (6.3% vs 13.5%, p = 0.010; 144.5 vs 200.0 min, p < 0.001).. This study identified no benefit for postoperative pain or opioid requirements in patients undergoing RA-RYGB compared to L-RYGB. The RA-RYGB group was significantly more likely to report pain at the two-week follow-up.

Laparoscopic-Assisted Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Is Superior to Port Site Infiltration in Reducing Post-Operative Opioid Use in Laparoscopic Surgery.
The ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block can be time-consuming, costly, and technically challenging in the bariatric patient population. Laparoscopic-assisted TAP (L-TAP) block was developed and has been shown to be non-inferior to ultrasound-guided blocks. Postoperative pain can be significant, and pain control in the morbidly obese patients can be challenging. This study's aim was to compare L-TAP block to traditional port site infiltration in terms of postoperative opioid requirement for morbidly obese patients after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.. A retrospective chart review was performed from February 2019 through February 2020. Two study groups: L-TAP block and port site infiltration. Outcomes examined the amount of opioid used at different time segments relative to the operation. All intravenous (IV) and oral opioids used were converted into IV morphine milligram equivalents (MME) for standardization.. 150 patients were included. The patient characteristics were not statistically significant between the two groups. Post-operative opioid use trended lower in the L-TAP block group in all time segments. A significant difference was detected in IV opioid use during post-operative day 0 with the mean MME for the L-TAP block group being 1.1±3.8 and port site infiltration group being 2.8±4.5 (P = .02). The L-TAP block more effectively reduces postoperative opioid use in comparison to port site infiltration in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Based on these findings, as well as the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of L-TAP blocks, its routine use in laparoscopy should be considered.
