Although cryotherapy, the application of ice to a surgical wound site, has been shown to be effective in reducing postoperative pain in orthopaedic, gynecologic, and hernia operations, it has not been assessed in patients who undergo major open abdominal operations.
In conclusion, the A/A genotype in the KCNJ6 A1032G SNP and −1250G/1032A haplotype were significantly associated with increased analgesic requirements after major open abdominal surgery.
In an association study of 129 subjects who underwent major open abdominal surgery, the A/A genotype in the A1032G SNP and -1250G/1032A haplotype were significantly associated with increased postoperative analgesic requirements compared with other genotypes and haplotypes.
We found that carriers of the A/A genotype in the A1032G SNP or −1250G/1032A haplotype required rescue analgesics more often and tended to require higher doses of rescue analgesics, especially in female subjects, compared with carriers of other genotypes or haplotypes, respectively, after major open abdominal surgery (Figure 2A and B, Table 6).
The subjects used in the association study were 129 patients who underwent major open abdominal surgery, mostly gastrectomy for gastric cancer and colectomy for colorectal cancer, under combined general and epidural anesthesia at Research Hospital, Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo, or at Toho University Sakura Medical Center.
That is why for this trial we chose only to investigate major open abdominal surgery and to exclude laparoscopic procedures and ASA 1 patients.
