AB An  increasing  number  of  complex  operations  are  being  performed  on  an  outpatient  basis  for  which  the  use  of  conventional  opioid-based  IV  patient-controlled  analgesia  (IVPCA)  and  central  neuraxial  (spinal  and  epidural)  analgesia  are  not  practical  techniques  for  pain  management.  For  that  and  other  reasons,  effective  treatment  of  acute  postsurgical  pain  presents  unique  challenges  for  practitioners.1  This  expansion  of  outpatient  surgery  requires  a  perioperative  analgesic  regimen  that  is  highly  effective,  has  minimal  side  effects,  is  intrinsically  safe,  and  can  be  easily  managed  away  from  the  hospital  or  surgical  center.2
