BACKGROUND: The A118G (rs1799971) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the OPRM1 gene, which encodes the μ-opioid receptor, reportedly affects postoperative morphine requirements but not fentanyl requirements. The present study investigated whether this SNP influences postoperative fentanyl requirements after laparoscopic-assisted colectomy (LAC). METHODS: We examined 350 Japanese patients who underwent LAC...
