Comparing Oxycodone and Sufentanil for Postoperative Pain Management

Patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy were divided into oxycodone and sufentanil groups. Oxycodone group showed lower pain scores postoperatively, indicating better analgesic effects and reduced inflammatory responses compared to sufentanil group. This prospective randomized controlled trial highlights the superior postoperative analgesia induced by oxycodone in this patient population, as well as its potential to minimize inflammatory reactions.
