Drug: IV Acetaminophen

Placebo Group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

In addition to PCA (morphine or hydromorphone) all patients received placebo (100 ml normal saline) given 30 minutes prior to operation and every 6 hours thereafter for up to 5 days post-operatively or discharge

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

1 gram every 6 hours

IV acetaminophen group

100 ml of normal saline every 6 hours
