Efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal lidocaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

IP lidocaine provides significant pain relief and reduces opioid consumption following LC compared to placebo, and represents a safe, cost-effective adjunct for multimodal analgesia in LC, particularly for addressing shoulder tip pain.

Procedure-specific effects of intravenous lidocaine in adult spine surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

There is moderate-certainty evidence that perioperative intravenous lidocaine reduces postoperative pain and opioid consumption after adult spine surgery and this benefit appeared procedure-specific, with the greatest benefit after instrumented fusion and complex procedures.

Efficacy and safety of laparoscopic-guided transversus abdominis plane block versus port-site local anesthetic infiltration in laparoscopic cholecystectomy

LTAP block provides superior early postoperative analgesia compared with port-site local anesthetic infiltration after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with a modest reduction in hospital stay, although evidence for several secondary outcomes remains limited by heterogeneity and inconclusive trial sequential analysis.

Current evidence of multimodal anesthesia on postoperative outcomes: A systematic review and Meta-analysis.

MMA shows no clear effect on postoperative pain at 24 h but reduces PONV incidence and opioid consumption, and larger, standardized trials are needed to define optimal MMA regimens and patient selection.

Effect of Intravenous Magnesium on Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Outcomes in Patients Undergoing General Anesthesia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Intravenous magnesium sulfate has been proposed as an adjuvant analgesic in perioperative care; however, its effects on postoperative pain and related analgesic outcomes remain uncertain. Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted from 1 January 2015 through 19 January 2026 to identify ran...

Intravenous magnesium sulfate for analgesia in spinal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Perioperative intravenous magnesium sulfate improves analgesia and reduces opioid consumption in spinal surgery, especially with a bolus-plus-infusion regimen, but it may delay emergence and increase hypotension risk.
