Summary

This study tests whether a single injection of dexamethasone palmitate before surgery can better prevent nausea and vomiting after minimally invasive procedures compared to standard care. About 588 adults aged 18-65 having laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery will take part. The drug is a longer-acting form of a common anti-nausea steroid, with fewer side effects.
