Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of peritoneal ropivacaine nebulization for pain control after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
To evaluate the effects of peritoneal cold nebulization of ropivacaine on pain control after gynecologic laparoscopy. ⋯ Cold nebulization of ropivacaine before surgery reduced postoperative pain and morphine consumption and was associated with earlier walking without assistance.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and misoprostol for pain relief during and after hysterosalpingography: prospective, randomized, controlled trial.
To assess whether vaginal misoprostol or oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce pain during and 30 minutes after hysterosalpingography (HSG). ⋯ There is no benefit in terms of pain reduction with the use of misoprostol during HSG or at 30 minutes after the procedure. However, NSAIDs are associated with pain relief during the HSG procedure.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyUse of a multimedia module to aid the informed consent process in patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopy for pelvic pain: randomized controlled trial.
To determine whether providing additional information to the standard consent process, in the form of a multimedia module (MM), improves patient knowledge about operative laparoscopy without increasing anxiety. ⋯ Use of an MM enhances the informed consent process by improving patient knowledge, in the short term, without increasing anxiety.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyLow vs standard pneumoperitoneum pressure during laparoscopic hysterectomy: prospective randomized trial.
To compare the use of low pneumoperitoneum pressure (LPP; 8 mm Hg) vs standard pneumoperitoneum pressure (SPP; 12 mm Hg) during mini-laparoscopic hysterectomy (MLH). ⋯ In experienced hands, use of LPP is safe and feasible. During performance of MLH, compared with SPP, LPP is a simple method that offers advantages of less shoulder-tip pain.
