Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of local anesthetic (LA) in reducing postoperative pain in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery. Ninety participants will be randomly assigned into three equal groups: Group A will receive LA injection at the port site, Group B will receive intraperitoneal LA injection, and Group C will serve as the control group with no LA intervention. Postoperative pain will be assessed and compared among the three groups.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Port Site Local Anesthetic Injection (Group A)

Participants receive a local anesthetic injection at the trocar/port sites of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bupivacaine 0.25%

Intervention Type DRUG

Before trocar insertion in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery, 5 mL of Bupivacaine 0.25% is infiltrated subcutaneously at each trocar port site to assess its effect on postoperative pain.

Intraperitoneal Local Anesthetic Injection (Group B)

Participants receive an intraperitoneal local anesthetic injection before removal of the laparoscopic instruments.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Bupivacaine 0.25%

Intervention Type DRUG

At the end of gynecologic laparoscopic surgery and prior to trocar removal, 40 mL of Bupivacaine 0.25% is instilled intraperitoneal under direct vision to evaluate its analgesic effect.

Control (Group C)

Participants receive no local anesthetic injection during surgery.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
