Summary
The infiltration of the surgical wound is an effective strategy for postoperative analgesia.
Nonsteroidal antiinflammatories are useful in this way.

bupivacaine plus diclofenac sodium infiltrating wound appendectomies.
Method: Comparative, double blind, American Society Anesthesiologist classification
I-II,18-65años. Group 1 (Bupivacaine n = 14), Group 2 (Diclofenac Sodium n = 14), Group 3
(Bupivacaine + Diclofenac Sodium n = 15). Pain at rest and dynamic, rescue analgesic
