Summary

This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the severity of post-operative pain and use of pain medication in women who are and are not exposed to healing statements before undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. The investigators' hypothesis is that those who are read healing statements before surgery will require less post-operative pain medications and experience less severe pain than those who do not hear the statements.

Before the patient in the experimental group is placed under general anesthesia, the study staff member will repeat 5 times: "Following this operation, \[the participant\] will feel very comfortable and \[the participant\] will heal very well." Toward the end of the surgery, the study staff member will say 5 times: "The operation has gone very well." "Following the operation, \[the participant\] will be hungry. \[The participant\] will be thirsty and urinate easily."
