Total hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures in gynecology. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) has several advantages over open surgery, such as better cosmetic outcomes, faster recovery, and an earlier return to normal activities and work, and has thus become the preferred approach Nonetheless, postoperative pain (PP) remains an issue of concern. The reported incidence of PP after TLH ranges from 35 % to 63 %. The origin of PP after laparoscopy is multifactorial, arising from several perioperative factors, including pneumoperitoneum, stretching of the intraabdominal cavity, blood left in the abdomen, and dissection of the pelvic region. A prospective trial found more intense pain and greater analgesia requirement in the immediate postoperative period associated with laparoscopic surgery than with laparotomy. Methods to decrease the severity of PP are required before TLH can be confidently recommended. Curcumin has several benefits, which are endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO). That is, it can be used to treat dyspepsia and peptic ulcer. Moreover, it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Most benefits are attributed to its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Curcuminoid is the active ingredient of turmeric. Curcuminoids are used in laparoscopic surgery because of their aforementioned benefits. Further, the use of traditional medicine, which is low-cost and effective in improving postoperative pain due to abdominal diştention, is assessed.
