Key clinical point: Postoperative nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use in intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) is associated with an increased risk for anastomotic leakage, duodenal stump leakage, intra-abdominal bleeding, and intra-abdominal inflammation in patients who undergo laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Major finding: The NSAID vs non-NSAID group had a significantly higher incidence rate of anastomotic leakage (2.4% vs 0.7%; P = .002), duodenal stump leakage (1.8% vs 0.6%; P = .007), intra-abdominal bleeding (2.1% vs 0.7%; P = .005), and intra-abdominal abscess (1.5% vs 0.4%; P = .008).
Study details: This single-center retrospective study included 2150 patients with gastric cancer who underwent went laparoscopic gastrectomy and thereafter did (n = 935) or did not (n = 1,215) receive NSAID in IV-PCA.
Disclosures: This study was sponsored by the Korean Gastric Cancer Association. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
