Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Effect of Perineural Catheters in Major Lower Limb Amputations.
Abstract
Controlling pain after major lower limb amputation (MLLA) is of critical importance to patients and clinicians. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effect of perineural catheters (PNCs) on post-operative pain, post-operative morphine requirement, in-hospital mortality, long term phantom limb pain, and chronic stump pain.
