Published data provide conflicting results regarding the comparative efficacy of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ibuprofen and ketorolac as components of multimodal analgesia in perioperative pain management.</p> <p><bold>AIM: </bold>The work aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of perioperative analgesia with ibuprofen and ketorolac within a multimodal approach in patients undergoing elective bariatric surgery.</p> <p><bold>METHODS: </bold>A prospective analysis included data from 90 patients divided into two groups: the ibuprofen group (n = 45) and the ketorolac group (n = 45). The primary outcome was pain intensity assessed using the visual analog scale at rest and during movement 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes included time to first analgesic request, need for rescue analgesia, bowel function (time to first flatus), mobilization (time to ambulation), quality of recovery according to the QoR-15 scale, and incidence of adverse effects. Statistical analysis was performed using the t test or Mann–Whitney U test for continuous variables and Fisher exact test for categorical variables.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> The groups were comparable in age, body mass index, ASA physical status, and duration of surgery (p &gt; 0.05). At rest, ibuprofen demonstrated significant benefits after 4 hours (median visual analog scale [VAS] score, 32 mm vs 37 mm; p = 0.0004) and 12 hours (29 mm vs 36 mm; p = 0.020), and during movement after 4 hours (35 mm vs 44 mm; p = 0.0002) and 12 hours (33 mm vs 45 mm; p = 0.0097). The frequency of rescue analgesia was lower in the ibuprofen group (26.7٪ vs 46.7٪; p = 0.049), and the time to the first analgesic dose was longer (median, 124 min vs 72 min; p = 0.008). Bowel function recovery occurred earlier (15 h vs 23 h; p &lt; 0.0001), and the quality of recovery measured by the QoR-15 scale was higher after 48 and 72 hours (p = 0.0002; p &lt; 0.0001, respectively). The incidence of adverse effects was low and did not differ significantly between groups.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold> The preventive use of ibuprofen as part of multimodal analgesia provides earlier and more pronounced pain reduction, decreases the need for rescue analgesia, and accelerates bowel function recovery and overall well-being without increasing the risk of complications compared with ketorolac.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование.</bold> Адекватное послеоперационное обезболивание после бариатрической лапароскопической резекции является ключевым фактором быстрого восстановления и снижения риска осложнений. Имеющиеся в литературе данные свидетельствуют о противоречивых результатах сравнения нестероидных противовоспалительных препаратов ибупрофена и кеторолака в составе мультимодальной аналгезии в периоперационном менеджменте боли.</p> <p><bold>Цель </bold>— сравнить эффективность и безопасность периоперационной аналгезии ибупрофеном и кеторолаком в рамках мультимодального подхода у пациентов, перенёсших плановую бариатрическую операцию.</p> <p><bold>Методы. </bold>Проспективно проанализированы данные 90 пациентов, распределённых в две группы: группу ибупрофена (<italic>n=</italic>45) и кеторолака (<italic>n=</italic>45). Первичным исходом была оценка интенсивности боли по визуальной аналоговой шкале в покое и при движении на моменты 0,5, 2, 4, 6, 12 и 24 часов после операции. Вторичные исходы: время до первого требования обезболивания, потребность в экстренном обезболивании, функция кишечника (время до отхождения газов), мобилизация (время до подъёма), качество восстановления по шкале QoR-15, частота побочных реакций. Статистический анализ проведён с использованием t-теста или U-теста Манна–Уитни для непрерывных переменных, и точного критерия Фишера — для категориальных.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Группы были сопоставимы по возрасту, индексу массы тела, статусу по ASA и длительности операции (<italic>p </italic>&gt;0,05). В покое значимые преимущества ибупрофена отмечены на 4-м часу (медиана по визуальной аналоговой шкале — 32 против 37 мм; <italic>p=</italic>0,0004) и 12-м часу (29 против 36 мм; <italic>p=</italic>0,020), при движении — на 4-м часу (35 против 44 мм; <italic>p=</italic>0,0002) и 12-м часу (33 против 45 мм; <italic>p=</italic>0,0097). В группе ибупрофена частота экстренного обезболивания была ниже (26,7% против 46,7%; <italic>p=</italic>0,049), а время до первой дозы анальгетика — дольше (медиана 124 против 72 мин; <italic>p=</italic>0,008). Функция кишечника восстанавливалась быстрее (15 против 23 ч; <italic>p </italic>&lt;0,0001), качество восстановления по QoR-15 выше к 48 и 72 часам (<italic>p=</italic>0,0002; <italic>p </italic>&lt;0,0001). Частота побочных реакций была низкой и без статистически значимых различий.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Превентивное применение ибупрофена в составе мультимодальной аналгезии обеспечивает более раннее и выраженное снижение боли, уменьшает потребность в экстренном обезболивании и ускоряет восстановление функции кишечника и общего самочувствия без увеличения риска осложнений по сравнению с кеторолаком.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ibuprofen</kwd><kwd>ketorolac</kwd><kwd>bariatric surgery</kwd><kwd>postoperative analgesia</kwd><kwd>visual analog scale</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ибупрофен</kwd><kwd>кеторолак</kwd><kwd>бариатрическая хирургия</kwd><kwd>послеоперационное обезболивание</kwd><kwd>визуальная аналоговая шкала</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Dwarica DS, Pickett SD, Zhao YD, Nihira MA, Quiroz LH: Comparing ketorolac with ibuprofen for postoperative pain: a randomized clinical trial.
