Summary
This study tested whether injecting the numbing drug ropivacaine into the belly and around a nerve cluster before surgery can lower pain after laparoscopic fibroid removal. 207 women having fibroid surgery were randomly assigned to get either ropivacaine or a placebo. The main goal was to see if pain scores 4 hours after surgery were lower with ropivacaine.
