Egypt60 participantsStarted 2022-01-01

Plain-language summary

Postoperative analgesia is provided by local anesthesia combined with intrathecal narcotics. In addition, for the first 24 hours, this combination has a parenteral opioid sparing effect. However, despite its benefits, this method has been associated to an increased incidence of urine retention, nausea, and vomiting, as well as pruritus. A new localized analgesic approach called as IPACK (infiltration between the knee capsule and the popliteal artery) has been employed in practice.
