Background The effect of the systemic lidocaine on postoperative recovery has not been definitively investigated despite its analgesic efficacy after surgery. The aim of this randomized, double-blinded, controlled study was to evaluate the effect of intravenously administered lidocaine on the quality of recovery and on acute and chronic postoperative pain after robot-assisted thyroidectomy.Methods Ninety patients who were undergoing robotic thyroidectomy were randomly assigned to the lidocaine or the control groups. The patients received 2 mg/kg of lidocaine followed by continuous infusions of 3 mg/kg/h of lidocaine (Group L) or the same volume of 0.9% normal saline (Group C) intravenously during anesthesia. The acute pain profiles and the quality of recovery, which was assessed using the quality of recovery-40 questionnaire (QoR-40), were evaluated for 2 days postoperatively. Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) and sensory disturbances at the surgical sites were evaluated 3 months after surgery.Results The QoR-40 and pain scores that were assessed during the 2 days that followed surgery were largely comparable between the groups. However, CPSP was more prevalent in the Group C than in the Group L (16/43 vs. 6/41; p = 0.025). The tactile sensory score 3 months after the operation was significantly greater in the Group L than in the Group C (7 vs. 5; p = 0.001).Conclusion Systemic lidocaine administration was associated with reductions in CPSP and sensory impairment after robot-assisted thyroidectomy although it was not able to reduce acute postsurgical pain or improve the quality of recovery.
