Objective  To manage the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative pain of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) and explore the role of pain management under the ERAS concept in enhancing postoperative rehabilitation of PKP. Methods  From January to December 2016, 136 patients with osteoporotic compression fractures treated with PKP of local anesthesia were selected, among which 71 patients in the ERAS group were treated between July and December 2016, who were treated with celecoxib capsule for analgesia before the operation and such local anesthetics as lidocaine and ropivacaine combined with intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride for multi-mode analgesia during the operation; after the operation, celecoxib capsules and tizanidine hydrochloride tablets were orally administered by the routine for analgesia; if the pain was increased, 40 mg parecoxib would be added for analgesia by intramuscular injection. While 65 patients in the conventional group were treated between January and June 2016, who were given intraoperative local anesthesia with lidocaine; if the patients suffered from severe pain after the operation, they would be given 40 mg parecoxib by intramuscular injection. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), mean arterial pressure (MAP), the complications after surgery, postoperative infections, bed rest time, length of hospital stay and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results  There was no statistical difference in age, gender or fracture vertebral number between the two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative VAS scores (4.0±1.5, 4.8±1.8, 1.6±1.1), MAP change [(22.0±4.7) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)], bed rest time [(1.5±0.7) days], and length of hospital stay [(3.8±0.8) days] in the ERAS group were significantly less than those in the conventional group [4.7±1.7, 5.7±1.5, 2.4±1.1, (31.3±6.1) mm Hg, (2.1±0.8) days, and (5.0±1.6) days, respectively] (P<0.05). The incidence of intraoperative complication of bone cement leakage (4.2%, 3/71) in the ERAS group was lower than that in the conventional group (13.8%, 9/65) (P<0.05); there was no statistical difference in postoperative pulmonary infection between the two groups (P>0.05). Patients’ satisfaction was significantly improved from 86.2% (the conventional group) to 95.8% (the ERAS group) (P<0.05). There was no incision infection, urinary tract infection or venous thrombosis in the two groups. Conclusion  With the concept of ERAS, taking a management of pain can effectively alleviate the dis-comfortable pain feeling, improve the patients’ satisfaction, and enhance the recovery for the patients after PKP surgery.
