Pain Characteristics After Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy

January 12, 2014 updated by: Yonsei University
Laparoscopic operative procedures have revolutionized gynecological surgery. These have several advantages: a smaller and more cosmetic incision, reduced blood loss and shorter postoperative stay, which cuts down on hospital costs. However, postoperative pain continues to be one complication, which results in an unpleasant experience for the patient and at times causes a delayed discharge. There are few studies about pain characteristics as one of laparoscopic hysterectomy complications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of shoulder pain, headache, abdominal pain, and back pain in patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: laparoscopic hysterectomy group
female patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Device: classic LMA insertion
Classic LMA (cLMA) will be inserted when no response is obtained in the train-of-four stimulation. The fiberoptic view through the LMA, intraoperative complications of the cLMA, any complication during anesthesia emergence will be recorded. The device is examined and noted for the presence of visible blood.
