The effect of preemptive local anesthesia on postoperative pain following vaginal hysterectomy: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: We aimed to study the effect of preemptive local anesthetic without adrenaline on postoperative pain following vaginal hysterectomy and concomitant trans obturator tape (TOT).

Study Design: This was a double-blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Women who undergone elective vaginal hysterectomy were included.

The effect of subcutaneous and intraperitoneal anesthesia on post laparoscopic pain: a randomized controlled trial.

A few modes of perioperative local analgesia have been studied in order to reduce postoperative pain after laparoscopy, including preemptive local anesthetics in the trocar sites and intraperitoneal anesthetics administration at the end of the surgery. However, the evidence regarding their efficacy are conflicting. In addition, the combination of both aforementioned methods has been rarely studied.
