A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study. University hospital. Eighty patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Visual analog scale for the evaluation of pain, sedation score, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and total analgesic consumption was recorded. Serum magnesium levels were determined before the operation, at the end of the operation, and at 24h. There were no significant differences between the groups with respect to demographics, and sedation scores. Cumulative morphine consumptionand pain scores were found to be higher in the control group than the magnesium group. Perioperative use of magnesium sulfate reduced postoperative pain and opioid consumption in obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy operations.
