Key result
Endovideosurgical interventions impose significant short-term extreme functional loads on respiratory and hemodynamic systems due to pneumoperitoneum and positioning, necessitating careful anesthetic management.
Why the study?
Literature on the use of paravertebral block in laparoscopic renal surgery anesthesia is extremely scarce.
Does paravertebral block provide comparable analgesic efficacy with fewer complications compared to epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic kidney surgery?
Does paravertebral block provide comparable analgesic efficacy with fewer complications compared to epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic kidney surgery?
Paravertebral block may be a promising, lower-risk alternative to epidural anesthesia for laparoscopic kidney surgery, but requires large multicenter studies for validation.
May support paravertebral block as lower-risk analgesia for laparoscopic renal surgery; leaves open validation in dedicated RCTs.
A main goal of modern anesthesiology is to reduce the bodys stress response to surgical aggression. This needs a multidisciplinary approach: surgeons reduce the invasiveness of surgery, and anesthesiologists use a multimodal approach in the intraoperative and postoperative periods. They combine general anesthesia with epidural anesthesia (EA), which has not only undeniable and proven advantages but also several disadvantages. An interesting alternative is paravertebral block (PVB), a compromise between neuroaxial (EA) and peripheral nerve block. PVB provides analgesic efficacy comparable to that of EA, but with significantly fewer complications and side effects. Many studies have described the widespread and successful use of PVB in thoracic surgery and endoscopic urology. However, the literature on the use of PVB in laparoscopic renal surgery anesthesia is extremely scarce. Thus, large multicenter studies are needed to determine the place of PVB in the anesthetic management of laparoscopic renal surgery.

Lapkina et al. (2022) conducted a review in Patients undergoing endovideosurgical (laparoscopic) operations. Anesthetic management and monitoring was evaluated. Endovideosurgical interventions impose significant short-term extreme functional loads on respiratory and hemodynamic systems due to pneumoperitoneum and positioning, necessitating careful anesthetic management.
