Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialProspective double-blind study of effect of ketorolac administration after laparoscopic urologic surgery.
To decrease postoperative dependence on narcotics for analgesia, we have evaluated ketorolac as an adjunct to perioperative pain control in patients undergoing laparoscopic urologic surgery. ⋯ Ketorolac decreases the subjective perception of pain after laparoscopic urologic surgery. It is suggested that ketorolac administration decreases the amount of narcotic usage as well. Time to resumption of oral intake and length of hospital stay were not influenced by use of ketorolac.
