Brief summary: In cases of laparoscopic hysterectomy , women were randomized to two groups: ropivacaine ( vaginal wound infiltration analgesia) vs. control group. Results regarding postoperative pain and need of oxycodone.

Detailed description: Women assigned to laparoscopic hysterectomy were randomly divided into two groups as regard surgery: a ropivacaine group (RG) (n=41) and a control group (CG) (n=40). General anesthesia and use of local anesthetics were standardized. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain and side effects (nausea/vomiting) and the amount of postoperative analgesic used were recorded for 24 hours.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

The criteria for inclusion were scheduled laparoscopic hysterectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

The exclusion Criteria were contraindications to any of the forms of medication used in the study (oxycodone, ketoprofen, paracetamol), language difficulties ( inability to understand and speak Finnish or Swedish)
