NCT02004470 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Summary

The use of laparoscopy in gynecologic surgery has been well established to decrease morbidity, blood loss, hospital stay, and post-operative pain when compared to traditional open abdominal surgery. However, the laparoscopic technique is associated with post-operative shoulder pain.

We hypothesize that a combination of intraperitoneal saline lavage and active suction removal of carbon dioxide gas from the right upper quadrant of the abdomen will decrease incidence of post-laparoscopic shoulder pain when compared to passive exsufflation of carbon dioxide gas.

Conditions

  • Shoulder Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Active lavage and suction

Active lavage and suction of the right upper quadrant will be performed as the laparoscopic procedure is about to be terminated.
