NCT03391570

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative pain following COX-2 and prostanoids expression in women who underwent laparoscopic surgery for female genital disease in order to evaluate the effect of COX-2 on local inflammation, COX-2 and prostanoids expression followed by exposure time to carbon dioxide(CO2) gas, and degree of postoperative pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of biomarkers expression according to exposure to CO2 gas

    Peritoneal biopsy and real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), Immunohistochemistry of Biomarkers (COX-2, PGE2, PGF2, PGI2, TXA2)

    Peritoneal biopsy will be done twice (intraoperative, at right after trocar insertion and right before trocar removal, an average of 2-3hours)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Visual analogue scale(VAS) score

    every six hours for 48 hours

  • Numbers of rescue analgesia

    From postoperation state to discharge (up to 2 days)

  • Postoperative complication

    From postoperation state to discharge (up to 2 days)

  • Duration of hospitalization

    From postoperation state to discharge (up to 2 days)
