Catheter Redosing of Autonomic Neural Blockade After Sleeve Gastrectomy
Targeted Temporary In Situ Catheter Redosing of Autonomic Neural Blockade for Breakthrough Symptoms After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Postoperative visceral pain and autonomic symptoms after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy may reappear earlier in selected high-risk patients despite standard intraoperative autonomic neural blockade (ANB). Temporary in situ catheter placement permits postoperative ANB redosing when breakthrough visceral symptoms occur.
This prospective single-arm observational study will evaluate the feasibility, safety, and clinical effectiveness of temporary ANB catheter placement and selective postoperative redosing in high-risk patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

详细说明
Autonomic neural blockade (ANB) selectively modulates visceral pain and autonomic symptoms after minimally invasive upper gastrointestinal surgery. Prior randomized trials have demonstrated reductions in pain, analgesic requirements, PONV, and anesthetic consumption following ANB during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). However, breakthrough visceral symptoms may occur in selected patients after blockade wanes.
A prior feasibility study by our group demonstrated that temporary in situ catheter placement for postoperative ANB redosing after LSG is technically feasible and safe, establishing catheter selection, placement strategy, and anatomical targets.
This prospective pilot study evaluates the clinical utility of selective postoperative ANB redosing in predefined high-risk patients.
All participants will undergo standard intraoperative ANB, TAP block, and temporary catheter placement in one of three anatomically validated paragastric/celiac pathway locations. Scheduled acetaminophen will be administered postoperatively.
Prior to any redosing, the treating investigator will clinically assess whether symptoms are consistent with visceral/autonomic breakthrough rather than somatic/incisional pain. Pain characteristics suggesting visceral origin include diffuse, deep, poorly localized epigastric/substernal discomfort, associated nausea/vomiting, autonomic symptoms, or pain disproportionate to abdominal wall tenderness.
Patients meeting redosing criteria will receive catheter redosing with 15 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine plus 4 mg dexamethasone. The minimum interval between re-dosing will be eight hours.
Concomitant hiatal hernia repair will be recorded for all patients, given the potential influence of distal phrenic nerve blockade on postoperative symptom patterns.

实验性的：Catheter Re-dosing for Breakthrough Symptoms After LSG
Participants with breakthrough symptoms, defined as visceral pain of 4/10 or higher, postoperative nausea, or vomiting, will receive 15 mL of bupivacaine 0.5% plus dexamethasone 4 mg through the temporary catheter.
Symptom response will be recorded 15 minutes after administration.
Catheter re-dosing may be repeated if breakthrough visceral/autonomic symptoms recur, provided that at least 8 hours have elapsed since the prior dose and the participant remains under direct institutional supervision.
The catheter will be removed 24 hours postoperatively or before hospital discharge, whichever occurs first.
|
Autonomic neural blockade (ANB) re-dosing will be performed by administering bupivacaine 0.5% and dexamethasone through a temporary catheter placed in the paragastric area during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy

Up to 24 hours postoperatively
|
|
Resolution of Postoperative Nausea or Vomiting After ANB Re-dosing
