Summary

This prospective randomized controlled study will determine the efficacy of continuous local anesthesia at decreasing pain scores compared to patient controlled analgesia for pelvic organ prolapse procedures including posterior colporrhaphy and sacrospinous ligament fixation.

Conditions

  • Post-Operative Pain

Interventions

DEVICE
