Reason for withdrawal from publication
This review was withdrawn from The Cochrane Library in Issue 3 2013. This is because the authors decided not to update the review and a new team of authors took over the review. The new authors' published protocol will update and replace this review. Werawatgnon & Charuluxananan concluded in 2005 that continuous epidural analgesia (CEA) was superior to Patient controlled intravenous opioid analgesia PCIVA in relieving postoperative pain for up to 72 hours in patients undergoing intra‐abdominal surgery. There was an increased rate of pruritis in the CEA group, but insufficient evidence to draw conclusions for other clinical advantages and disadvantages. The Yeoh review will include patient controlled (PCEA) in addition to CEA in order to further identify the best strategy.
The editorial group responsible for this previously published document have withdrawn it from publication.
