SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: within 14 days

Pain (shoulder-, incisional-, abdominal - and overall pain) estimated as area under the curve (AUC) from 0 till 4 days after operation. Pain (shoulder-, incisional-, abdominal - and overall pain) estimated as area under the curve (AUC) from 0 till 14 days after operation. Pain was assessed: preoperatively, at arrival to the postanesthesia care unit, 2 hours after surgery, 4 hours after surgery, 8 hours after surgery, at discharge from hospital, and once daily at day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 after surgery.
