@entity1 @entity390 @entity111 @entity158 @entity1286 @entity65
A prospective randomized trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of epidural @entity1286 for @entity158 relief after lumbar laminectomy. Thirty-three male @entity1 were studied in two groups. At the end of surgery, Group 1 @entity1 (15) received 2 mg @entity1286 in 5 ml saline through an epidural catheter. Doses were repeated on demand. Group 2 @entity1 (18) received 10 mg @entity1286 intramuscularly on request in the postoperative period. @entity158 was assessed at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively by the linear analog of @entity158 scale. There was significantly greater @entity158 relief in Group 1 than in Group 2 after 2, 6, and 12 hours, respectively. Furthermore, Group 2 received larger doses of @entity1286 than Group 1. There was no @entity65 detected in @entity1 in either group. Nine @entity1 in Group 1 and five @entity1 in Group 2 had transient postoperative urinary retention that required catheterization. Only one @entity1 in Group 1 had mild @entity111 and three @entity1 in Group 2 had @entity390 .
