Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms of severe pain after open abdominal surgery using our new animal model with laparotomy and appendectomy. Skin incision induced mechanical hyperalgesia in the surgical site but did not affect spontaneous locomotor activity. Laparotomy induced mechanical hyperalgesia not only in the surgical site but also in the site distant from the surgical site and reduced locomotor activity. The number of c-Fos-positive neurons in the thoracic dorsal horn in the laparotomy group was higher than that in the skin incision group, which were reduced by administration of a local anesthetic into the surgical site. Although there were no significant differences in the pain-related behaviors between the laparotomy and appendectomy groups, recovery from postoperative weight loss in the appendectomy group delayed. Spontaneous locomotor activity and area of mechanical hyperalgesia vary according to degree of the surgical stress.
