Postoperative Pain and Opioid Use Following Lower-Limb Escharectomy and Skin Grafting Under a Standardized Regional Anesthesia Protocol: A Retrospective Study
In this cohort, regional anesthesia was associated with satisfactory postoperative analgesia and minimal opioid requirements. By reducing opioid exposure, this approach may help improve patient comfort and potentially limit opioid-related adverse effects. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and to assess long-term outcomes.
