Vaginal Cuff Anesthesia for Post-Hysterectomy Pain
This study is looking at whether injecting a local anesthetic called Bupivacaine (with epinephrine) into the vaginal cuff during a hysterectomy (surgery to remove the uterus) can reduce the amount of pain medication you need right after surgery and make you more comfortable. Researchers will compare Bupivacaine to a saline (saltwater) placebo. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, need a total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign (non-cancerous) conditions or have malignancy (cancer). The study aims to see if Bupivacaine leads to less pain medication use within the first four hours after surgery. The current recruitment status is unclear.
