Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain as assessed by the visual analog scale (VAS)First 24 hours after surgery

This will be measured as a binary outcome variable (pain will be determined as VAS \>/= 4, and no pain will be VAS \< 4). This will be determined on post-operative day 1 as an average of the two pain scores.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postoperative Analgesia Requirement measured in morphine milliequivalentsany postoperative analgesia used after the surgery is completed to the discharge of the patient from the hospital

the amount of analgesia used type, dose and amounts used post operatively

Incision lengthmeasurement in centimeters the patients incision lengths at the closing of the surgery

the length of the incisions on the patient abdomen

Intra-operative and total hospital costsfrom the admission to discharge of the patient in hours

the cost for the intra-operative services and total hospital hospital costs

Volume of CO2 consumed during the procedurefrom the time the CO2 machine is turned on to the time the CO2 machine is turned off in minutes

the amount/volume of CO2 used during the procedure

Duration of surgeryFrom start of the surgery to the end of the surgery in minutes

from the start of the first incision of surgery to the closing of the last incision of surgery in minutes

Total narcotic use intra-operatively (in morphine milliequivalents)volume of narcotics used from the beginning of surgery to end of surgery in milliequivalents

volume of narcotics used during the operation

Analgesic requirements in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)From the time the patient enters the PACU to the time patient leaves the PACU in minutes

the amount, type and doses of drugs administered in the PACU to the patient

Intraoperative temperature measured via bladder probe (average of the measurements on the anesthesia record)From the start surgery to the end of the surgery in minutes

the body temperature of the patient from the bladder

Temperature in the PACUFrom the time the patient enters PACU to the time patient leaves the PACU in minutes

the temperature of the patient in PACU measured each 30 minutes in PACU

Length of hospital staythe amount of hours the patient stays in the hospital (ie 24 hours)

from admission to the hospital to discharge from the hospital in hours
