What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the use of opioid-free anesthesia in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. It aims to evaluate the potential benefits of reducing morphine use during surgery, particularly in terms of postoperative pain management and rehabilitation outcomes. The study will analyze data from patients who had bariatric surgery at the University Hospital of Strasbourg between 2017 and 2019. By examining the effects of this anesthesia approach, the study seeks to clarify its role in improving recovery for obese patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have undergone bariatric surgery at the University Hospital of Strasbourg between January 2017 and December 2019.

Not a fit: Patients who are under guardianship, pregnant, or have opted out of participating in the study will not benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance postoperative recovery and reduce side effects associated with opioid use in bariatric surgery patients.

How similar studies have performed: While the concept of opioid-free anesthesia has been explored, this specific application in bariatric surgery is still being evaluated and has not been extensively tested.
