Normal saline

Study Description

Brief Summary: It remains controversial whether paracervical block should be performed as a powerful strategy for pain relief in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM), because convincing conclusions are difficult to draw because of the heterogeneous and contradictory nature of the literature. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of paracervical blocks using with 0.5% bupivacaine prior to LM for benign gynecologic conditions on postoperative pain relief.

Detailed Description: However, no study investigating the efficacy of paracervical block in laparoscopic myomectomy on postoperative pain was conducted, to date. Therefore, the goal of this study is to evaluate whether patients who receive a paracervical block of 5% bupivacaine with epinephrine at the time of laparoscopic myomectomy would have lower postoperative pain, with less consumption of rescue analgesics than patients who receive a paracervical block of normal saline.
