A double-blind comparison of orally administered ciramadol and codeine for relief of postoperative pain.

Ciramadol, a new analgesic with mixed narcotic agonist-antagonist actions, was compared with codeine and placebo in a double-blind study in 343 patients with postoperative pain. The patients received a single oral dose of either 30 or 60 mg of ciramadol, 60 mg of codeine, or placebo. As indicated by three efficacy measures (verbal and visual analog pain scores and pain relief scores), the three active treatments were superior to placebo in relieving pain, and 30 and 60 mg of ciramadol generally were equivalent and superior, respectively, to 60 mg of codeine. The group who took 60 mg of ciramadol had a significantly (P less than .05) lower cumulative remedication frequency than that for the other three groups and the highest proportion of satisfactory evaluations by patients and physicians. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of side effects (4% to 11%) among the treatment groups. Demonstrated safety and efficacy suggest a role for ciramadol in the treatment of postoperative pain.

Abdomino-scrotal lymphangioma.

Retroperitoneum, pelvis and scrotum are unusual sites of lymphangiomas. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas presenting as inguino-scrotal masses are extremely rare. An unusual case of retroperitoneal lymphangioma extending into scrotum, presenting as acute scrotum is reported due to its unusual location. Complete surgical excision with careful attention to avoid damaging contiguous structures is the treatment of choice.

Huge omental cyst mimicking ascites.

An unusual case of omental cyst is described. A 4-year-old child presenting as abdominal distension of short duration, clinically diagnosed as ascites, was subsequently proved to be giant omental cyst. The case is reported because of its unique presentation.

Propofol versus thiamylal-enflurane anesthesia for outpatient laparoscopy.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether propofol anesthesia differs from thiamylal-enflurane anesthesia in induction characteristics, intraoperative hemodynamics, postoperative side effects, and postoperative psychomotor function recovery. DESIGN: A randomized, double-blind, two-group study. SETTING: A large university hospital with gynecologic outpatient operations performed in an integrated operating room suite. PATIENTS: Sixty adult women (ASA physical status I or II) undergoing an outpatient gynecologic laparoscopic operation with an anesthesia time of approximately 60 minutes. INTERVENTIONS: No pharmacologic premedication. Pretreatment with intravenous droperidol 0.6 mg and sufentanil 0.2 micrograms/kg before induction of anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with either thiamylal 4 mg/kg (Group 1) or propofol 2.5 mg/kg (Group 2). Anesthesia was maintained with either nitrous oxide (N2O) and enflurane, 2-0.5% inspired concentrations; (Group 1) or with a continuous infusion of propofol 200-100 micrograms/kg/min and N2O (Group 2). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: In psychomotor function tests (Trieger dot test and p-deletion test) administered preoperatively and postoperatively, no difference was found between the groups. No difference was found in induction time, although significantly more patients reported pain after the propofol injection, or in intraoperative hemodynamics (mean arterial pressure and heart rate). Immediate recovery time (emergence from anesthesia) and intermediate recovery time (ambulation, oral intake, and discharge time) were significantly shorter after propofol anesthesia. Fewer postoperative side effects, such as nausea and vomiting, were reported after propofol anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: Induction and maintenance of anesthesia with propofol were comparable to those with thiamylal-enflurane, except patients experienced more pain on injection after propofol. Both immediate and intermediate recovery were more rapid after propofol anesthesia compared with enflurane-based anesthesia.
