First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (ropivacaine) into the vagina before making the incision for a hysterectomy can reduce pain after surgery. 108 women scheduled for vaginal hysterectomy will be randomly assigned to receive either the anesthetic or a placebo (salt water) while under general anesthesia. The main goal is to see if the anesthetic group reports less pain in the hours after the procedure.
