Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Operative laparoscopy is becoming the primary approach for treatment of benign gynaecologic diseases, as it is a less invasive procedure and can help shorten the length of hospitalization., Most complications occur during abdominal access or port placement, while other complications arise during abdominal insufflations, tissue dissection, and homeostasis. However, postoperative pain at the shoulder and upper abdomen has been shown to be the most common complaint in many studies. It has been hypothesized that this is due to CO2 residue, which causes stretching of the post distended diaphragm and peritoneum after prolonged surgery. The suprapubic pain comes directly from the surgical wound, which is also affected by postoperative abdominal distension Several methods have been recommended to improve postoperative pain for ambulatory procedures, including a pulmonary recruitment maneuver,intraperitoneal infusions with saline or analgesic drugs,low pressure laparoscopic surgery,and the prescription of different types of preoperative medicine.Studies have shown peritoneal gas drain to be a procedure that could potentially be used to alleviate postoperative pain. Many previous studies have reported good results from using this procedure. Recently, a systematic review mentioned that there was little evidence to support the effectiveness of intraperitoneal gas drain in reducing postoperative pain.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Elective procedure: Patients scheduled for elective pure laparoscopic gynecologic surgery (e.g., ovarian cystectomy, endometriosis resection, diagnostic laparoscopy).
* ASA Physical Status: I-II (i.e., healthy or mild systemic disease).

BMI: 18-35 kg/m².

Informed Consent: Able and willing to give written consent and comply with postoperative pain assessments.

Exclusion Criteria

1 - Malignancy: Known or suspected gynecologic malignancy requiring staging or radical surgery.

2\. Conversion: Intraoperative conversion to laparotomy.

3\. Coagulopathy: Bleeding disorders or therapeutic anticoagulation that cannot be paused perioperatively.

4\. Prior Major Pelvic Surgery: ≥ 2 previous open abdominal operations (to avoid confounding from adhesions).

5\. Intra-Abdominal Infection: Active pelvic inflammatory disease or untreated urinary tract infection.

6\. Chronic Pain/Opioid Use: Regular opioid use or chronic pelvic pain syndromes (endometriosis pain \> 6 months).

7\. Allergy/Contraindication: Allergy to standard analgesics or contraindication to intraperitoneal drain placement (e.g., severe adhesions).
