Summary
Postoperative pain remains a very UNPLEASENTevent, particularly in morbidly obese patients
that may be associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Bariatric surgery patients must get safe
and efficient analgesia, which is essential given that up to 45 % of patients report
substantial pain in the first two days following surgery. The study's purpose was to compare
the efficacy and safety of combined tramadol with pethidine versus pethidine alone and to
assess their impact on postoperative pethidine requirements after LSG for morbidly obese
patients
