Abstract
A statistically significant opioid-sparing effect was found when patient-controlled levobupivacaine was administered intraperitoneally as needed compared with continuous infusion. This was associated with a faster return of GI function and home-readiness. There was, however, a wide confidence interval in the primary endpoint, opioid consumption.
