This book presents current evidence in an Enhanced Recovery Programme context and provides a
common sense approach to using the array of available analgesia techniques appropriately in
major abdominal surgery. Current pain relief options are discussed many of which have been
described only in the last ten years. Topics covered range from the now widespread use of
portable ultrasound machines to an appreciation of the value of some older drugs in a new
context. Analgesia for Major Abdominal Surgery is aimed at anesthetists acute pain teams and
acute pain nurses as well as colorectal hepatobiliary urological and gynecological surgeons.
