Summary
The most effective long-term treatment for obesity is bariatric surgery, however,
postoperative pain control is challenging in these group of population. Opioid-sparing
technique with multimodal analgesia is recommended but the evidence supported is still
limited. Multimodal analgesia, particularly lidocaine and ketamine, has been used effectively
in various type of surgery. However, the evidence supported their use in obese patients
undergoing bariatric surgery is limited.
