Efficacy of Postoperative Epidural Anesthesia Following Abdominoplasty
An observational study of Anesthesia and Abdominoplasty, run by Klinik Bogenhausen at 1 site in Germany.
Trial summary
Effective postoperative pain management is essential for patient satisfaction and therefore intraoperative regional nerve blocks have become more and more popular in abdominoplasties. However, the key disadvantage of these blocks are their limited duration of action. Read more about this study

About this study
Effective postoperative pain management is essential for patient satisfaction and therefore intraoperative regional nerve blocks have become more and more popular in abdominoplasties. However, the key disadvantage of these blocks are their limited duration of action. This observational study evaluates the effects of a longer- lasting, individualized epidural analgesia using a pain pump to better classify the clinical value of this procedure.
Read the detailed description
This work reviews the digital medical charts of patients who underwent selective abdominoplasty without additive surgical procedures within a period of 4 years. Evaluated data comprise the postoperative analgesia regimen, including on-demand medication, mobilization time, inpatient length of stay, and clinical outcome. The patients were grouped by the presence of an epidural catheter.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
frequency of retrieval of the on-demand non-epidural opiate
frequency of retrieval of the on-demand non-epidural opiate as a measure of perceived pain discomfort
Measured: from the day of inpatient admission to the day of discharge of every included patient. The event determined by reviewing digital medical charts, is therefore assessed for an estimated period of up to 7 days
Secondary outcomes (3)
postoperative mobilization ability
the time at which the patient was able to move at room level with the assistance of a nurse (assisted full mobilization), the time at which the patient was able to get out of bed independently and move without assistance (independent full mobilization)
Measured: from the day of inpatient admission to the day of discharge of every included patient. The event determined by reviewing digital medical charts, is therefore assessed for an estimated period of up to 7 days
timing of urinary catheter removal
timing of urinary catheter removal after surgery
Measured: from the day of inpatient admission to the day of discharge of every included patient. The event determined by reviewing digital medical charts, is therefore assessed for an estimated period of up to 7 days
length of hospital stay
number of days from the day of surgery until dischargement
Measured: from the day of inpatient admission to the day of discharge of every included patient. The event determined by reviewing digital medical charts, is therefore assessed for an estimated period of up to 7 days

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
frequency of retrieval of the on-demand non-epidural opiate (time frame: from the day of inpatient admission to the day of discharge of every included patient. The event determined by reviewing digital medical charts, is therefore assessed for an estimated period of up to 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
