Summary
The high demand for bariatric surgery due to the increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide
necessitate evidence-based clinical pathway such as Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery
(ERABS). The paradigm of surgery has been shifted from open to laparoscopic in morbidly obese
patients. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common procedure performed in our
institute for sustained weight loss and amelioration of obesity-related comorbidities. Pain
control in ERABS is one of the key factors for improved outcomes. Surgery induced acute
postoperative pain, stress response and fatigue lead to prolonged convalescence and hospital
stay. Optimal titrated safe postoperative pain management in LSG patients still remains a
challenge.
