Intraoperative Botulinum Toxin Chemodenervation and Analgesia in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.

Conclusions. Chemodenervation was the only factor associated with reduced opioid usage compared to a standard group using multimodality analgesia. The role of muscular pain in laparotomy is likely underappreciated and understudied. Intraoperative selective muscular chemodenervation may play a significant role in recovery from abdominal surgery and requires further study. PMID: 33234030 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
