Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Multimodal analgesic protocol group
Women who received the multimodal analgesic protocol during minimally invasive myomectomy.
Multimodal and preemptive analgesia using 8 mg of Dexamethasone iv,trocar ports infiltration with 5 mL of a local anesthetic, consisting of 0.26% ropivacaine HCL (7.5 mg/mL) and 0.74% of 0,9 % sodium chloride, before the skin incision. About 10 minutes before the surgery is completed, 4 mg Ondansetron iv and a mixture of 75 mg diclofenac and 600 mg of paracetamol intramuscularly (im) are administered.
No Intervention: No use of multimodal analgesic protocol group
Women who did not receive the multimodal analgesic protocol during minimally invasive myomectomy.
Multimodal and preemptive analgesia using 8 mg of Dexamethasone iv,trocar ports infiltration with 5 mL of a local anesthetic, consisting of 0.26% ropivacaine HCL (7.5 mg/mL) and 0.74% of 0,9 % sodium chloride, before the skin incision. About 10 minutes before the surgery is completed, 4 mg Ondansetron iv and a mixture of 75 mg diclofenac and 600 mg of paracetamol intramuscularly (im) are administered.
