Summary
This study tested whether injecting a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) into the belly and around a nerve bundle before fibroid removal surgery could reduce pain afterward. 207 women having laparoscopic myomectomy were randomly assigned to get the numbing drug or a placebo. The main goal was to see if pain scores were lower 4 hours after surgery.
