Study Arms (2)

Group R

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Ropivacaine is instillated through one multi-hole catheter wich would be inserted percutaneously in all patients and tunnelled about 1-2 cm lateral to the abdominal incision and the tip of the catheter placed in the intra-peritoneal cavity. The catheter would not be ligated and fixed in situ intra-peritoneally. Twenty ml of Ropivacaine would be injected subcutaneously along both sides of the incision prior to skin closure. Additionally, 20 ml of Ropivacaine (1mg/mL) would be injected every hour by an automatic pump via the intra-peritoneal catheter into the abdomen.

Drug: Ropivacaine

Group P

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Saline is instillated through one multi-hole catheter wich would be inserted percutaneously in all patients and tunnelled about 1-2 cm lateral to the abdominal incision and the tip of the catheter placed in the intra-peritoneal cavity. The catheter would not be ligated and fixed in situ intra-peritoneally. Twenty ml of Saline would be injected subcutaneously along both sides of the incision prior to skin closure. Additionally, 20 ml of Saline would be injected every hour by an automatic pump via the intra-peritoneal catheter into the abdomen.
