Condition(s) targeted: Ovarian Cysts

Intervention: Ropivacaine nebulization (Drug); Ropivacaine instillation (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: San Gerardo Hospital

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Pablo M Ingelmo, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: San Gerardo Hospital, Monza. Italy

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess if intraperitoneal nebulization of Ropivacaine 150 mg may prevent the use of morphine during the first day after laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery.

Clinical Details

Official title: Do Peritoneal Nebulization of Ropivacaine Reduce the Use of Morphine After Short Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgery?

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Morphine consumption (mg)

Secondary outcome:

Postoperative Pain

Time of unassisted walking

Hospital morbidity

Hospital stay

Quality of life after surgery

Detailed description: In a recent study the investigators found that nebulization of Ropivacaine 30 mg before or after gynaecologic laparoscopic surgery significantly reduces postoperative pain and postoperative morphine consumption. Ropivacaine was effectively administered with non-heating nebulizers (AeronebPro®). However, almost all patients still use morphine after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that intraperitoneal nebulization of Ropivacaine 150 mg may prevent the use of morphine after the laparoscopic ovarian cyst surgery.
