Supports parecoxib for higher satisfaction after hernia repair; extends RCT evidence for COX-2 inhibitors in ambulatory surgery.
Does parecoxib improve postoperative analgesia and patient satisfaction compared to propacetamol in adult patients after inguinal hernia repair?
A single dose of parecoxib 40 mg provides comparable analgesia and better patient satisfaction than two doses of propacetamol 2 g in the first 12 hours after inguinal hernia repair.
