Local anaesthetic wound infiltration for postcaesarean section analgesia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: Local anaesthetic wound infiltration reduces postoperative opioid consumption but had minimal effect on pain scores and did not reduce opioid-related side-effects in women who had undergone delivery by caesarean section. The review is limited by a paucity of studies using intrathecal morphine and by the indirect comparisons performed for subgroup analyses.
