PURPOSE: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate whether additional intraoperative injection of Tarasyn (ketorolac tromethamine) provided a preemptive analgesic effect that improved postoperative pain. METHODS: Sixty patients scheduled for hemorrhoidectomy were randomly assigned to the study and control groups. For the control group (n=32), patients were treated with standard intravenous injections of Nubain (Nalbuphine hydrochloride; Jeil Pharmaceuticals Co, Seoul) per 8 hours for three times postoperatively for pain relief. In the study group (Tarasyn group, n=28), 60 mg of Tarasyn (ketorolac tromethamine; Roche Korea, Seoul) was injected into the internal sphincter muscle and around the operative wound at the time of hemorrhoidectomy as well as standard intravenous injections of Nubain . Parameters were measured of pain score from 0 (no pain) to 10 (agonizing pain), painless sound sleep, additional analgesic requirements, time to first bowel movement, and postoperative urinary retention. RESULTS: Rate of painless sound sleep was 75.0% and 53.1% in the Tarasyn and the control groups, respectively, which was significant statically between two groups (P<0.05). Time to first bowel movement was 2 and 3.2 days in Tarasyn and the control groups, respectively, which was also significant statistically (P<0.05). Voiding difficulty developed in one case (3.5%) in the Tarasyn group and he needed catheterization. In the control group, however, the number (15 cases, 46.9%; P<0.001) was much higher requiring more catherization (13 cases, 40.9%; P<0.001). Mean pain scores was significant statically between two groups (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The data suggest that the use of intraoperative injection of Tarasyn is associated with a significant decrease in pain and urinary complications after hemorrhoidectomy.

Romberg syndrome is a rare disease and characterized by unilaeril atrophy of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and the underlying structure of half the face. The lesion does not usually cross the midline of the scalp. Roriberg syndrome is sometimes mildsnosed as linear scleroderma, although they differ widely in their clinical and histological apperance. A 13-year-old boy was present with a one year history of idefined atrophic patch on the left side of face and neck. We involved skin was not bound down to the underlying structure. The history revealed no prcvious trauma or disease, He had no abnormal neurologic finding. Computerized tomography demonstrated a diminished subcutaneouat volume and also decreased thickness of back muscle is the left side face from cheek to neck.
