Brief Summary

Despite recent advances in minimal invasive surgery, postoperative pain control remains a challenge for both surgeons and anesthesiologists . Currently, laparoscopy has an obvious favor for both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures of pelvic and abdomen; while it is minimally invasive, has less pain, and needs less postoperative analgesic use compared with open surgeries . Shoulder pain is a frequent problem following laparoscopic procedure
