Summary
Lipoabdominoplasty and liposuction are one of the most common plastic surgeries. The
management of postoperative pain is complex. Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
are insufficient, while opioids are avoided by their adverse effects and regional techniques
are hampered by a premature discharge. In this context, the investigators seek an
intraoperative multimodal analgesic technique blocking NMDA receptors with ketamine plus
magnesium to significantly decrease postoperative pain.
