Pre-emptive Local Anaesthesia in Gynecological Laparoscopy

Norway24 participantsStarted 2013-02

Plain-language summary

Pre-emptive local anaesthetics are widely used in laparoscopic surgery, but there is no really consistent evidence that it is useful. Studies in the literature have shown contradicting results. At our hospital we are currently using pre-emptive local anaesthetics in the trocar areas, but as the literature does not give a clear and clinically relevant answer, we need to find out more. This study aims to see if pre-emptive local anaesthetics are useful in the setting of our day-case, laparoscopic surgery.
