ABSTRACT
Introduction: acupuncture analgesia produces mechanical or electrical stimulation in different points of the body, increasing the pain threshold and helping the patient to support different types of surgical intervention.Objective: to assess the application of acupuncture analgesia in urinary genital inguinal surgery at Pepe Portilla Provincial Pediatric Teaching Hospital.
Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study that included 260 patients undergoing surgeries applying acupuncture analgesia between 2011 and 2017 was conducted. The data were obtained from the patient's medical records. The variables were: age, gender, surgical area, effectiveness of treatment, complications, anesthetic recovery, duration of the analgesic action and economic expenses; which were analyzed by descriptive statistics.
Results: male sex predominated (78,1 %), the ages comprised between 13 - 18 years. The inguinal region was the most intervened area (76,1 %); 93,9 % of the patients showed good outcomes, 2,7 % had a regular response in genital surgery and 3,4 % a poor outcome in inguinal surgery. Only 19 patients (7,3 %) presented some type of complications, pain was the most frequent (10 cases). Anesthetic recovery was favorable in 241 patients (92,7 %). The cost of the surgical materials used represents $ 0,99 for each surgery, which amounts of $ 257,4 in a total of 260 surgical interventions performed.
Conclusions: the application of acupuncture analgesia in pediatric urinary genital inguinal surgery presented a good response to this treatment, observing infrequent complications, favorable anesthetic recovery and an ample scientific value, as well as low socioeconomic expenses.
