Official title
Lavage and Suction of the Right Upper Quadrant to Reduce Post Laparoscopic Shoulder Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The use of laparoscopy in gynecologic surgery has been well established to decrease morbidity, blood loss, hospital stay, and post-operative pain when compared to traditional open abdominal surgery. However, the laparoscopic technique is associated with post-operative shoulder pain. We hypothesize that a combination of intraperitoneal saline lavage and active suction removal of carbon dioxide gas from the right upper quadrant of the abdomen will decrease incidence of post-laparoscopic shoulder pain when compared to passive exsufflation of carbon dioxide gas.
