Comparing two pain relief methods after keyhole stomach surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after keyhole stomach removal surgery: either injecting a special gel mixed with numbing medicine during surgery or using an ultrasound-guided numbing injection. The goal is to see which option works better for you after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for keyhole stomach removal (laparoscopic gastrectomy) under general anesthesia.
- You are in reasonably good health (classified as ASA I–III, meaning no major health problems or mild to moderate ones).
- You are not allergic to numbing medicines (like lidocaine or similar).
- You do not have an autoimmune disease (e.g., lupus) or a skin condition that causes thick scars (keloids).
