Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate an effect of pre - incisional single injection of
low-dose ketamine on postoperative pain after remifentanil infusion in patients undergoing
laparoscopic gastric bypass and gastric plication surgery. Ketamine is an old general
anaesthetic. Low doses of it might be used as a adjunct in postoperative analgesia.The
investigators expect that the low-dose ketamine reduces postoperative pain after bariatric
surgeries.
