Core Tip

Core Tip: As an important part of surgical treatment, anesthesia significantly impacts the incidence of postoperative complications. In this study, the anesthetic effects of intravenous general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia or ultrasound-guided bilateral transversus abdominal plane block (TAPB) in patients with laparoscopic gastric cancer were compared. The results showed that, compared with epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia, TAPB combined with general anesthesia had better analgesic effects in laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery and could further reduce the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction and postoperative complications, improve the levels of intestinal barrier index, and improve the quality of postoperative recovery.
