Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Postoperative Pain, Paracervical Block, Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgery

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of placing numbing medication around the cervix prior to performing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery in decreasing pain after surgery. The study focuses on laparoscopic hysterectomies and robotic-assisted myomectomies. It will assess whether patients who receive the medication experience less pain and require less pain medication post operatively and if it helps reduce the number of patients who require hospitalization for pain control following surgery.
