Summary

This study tests whether giving n-acetylcysteine (a common supplement) during hysterectomy surgery can reduce the amount of opioid painkillers women need afterward. About 240 women having laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy will receive either the drug or a placebo. Researchers will track pain scores and opioid use for 72 hours after surgery to see if the supplement helps.
