Opioids are widely used in clinical anesthesia. However, side effects include postoperative nausea and vomiting, shivering, ileus, and urine retention and are specifically discussed here. From the available evidence, it appears that the use of opioids is strongly associated with impaired

A randomized prospective study of 201 patients in two institutions was performed to evaluate the efficacy of a transderm scopolamine patch in the control of postoperative nausea. Of 201 patients, 180 successfully completed the protocol. Demographically, the groups were similar in age, sex, and
BACKGROUND
Although epidural opioids have excellent analgesic property, their side-effects limit its use in patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA). This study was designed to compare side-effects of epidural sufentanil in ropivacaine with that of morphine in ropivacaine focusing on lower
We report a rare case of urinary retention secondary to Listeria meningitis. A 90-year-old woman presented with high fever, nausea, diarrhea, and incontinence of urination and feces. Lumbar puncture was performed. The total cell number of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was elevated indicating that

Regional analgesic techniques allow better postoperative rehabilitation and shorter hospital stay after major knee surgery. The authors tested the hypothesis that similar results could be obtained after total-hip arthroplasty.
METHODS
Forty-five patients scheduled for THA under general

OBJECTIVE
Transurethral enucleation of the prostate (TUE) is designed for complete removal of the prostate lobes. On the basis of TUE and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, we developed a new technique of transurethral detachment prostatectomy (TUDP) using a tissue morcellator.
METHODS

Flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) is now commonly used for the treatment of paediatric renal stones. We conducted a systematic review of literature looking at the outcomes of flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy (FURSL) for paediatric stone disease. A systematic review was conducted in a Cochrane
