Study Overview

Brief Summary

A total of 86 patients were included in the study. During the immediate post-operative period from 0-6 hours, there was a reduction in the number of times the patient control pain drug release button was pressed in the local anaesthetic ropivacaine group compared to the normal saline group. This suggest intraperitoneal use of local anaesthetic is a useful adjunct for post operative pain management.
