To assess the efficacy of analgesia provided by continuous ropivacaine wound infiltration after gynecologic laparoscopy. ⋯ Continuous ropivacaine wound infiltration was found to be as effective as patient-controlled analgesia for postoperative pain relief after gynecologic laparoscopy. This technique provides good analgesia with less opioid analgesic requirement and few adverse effects.
