NCT04459026

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of different routes of local anaesthesia administration in laparoscopic procedures to reduce post-operative pain (intra-peritoneal infusion of Ropivacaine 0.75%, port site injection of Ropivacaine 0.75% or a combination of both techniques), through a randomized one-center double-blinded study.

Study Arms (3)

group A - combination

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A patients will receive intra-abdominal instillation 0.75% Ropivacaine 2 mg / kg in 200 ml of NaCl through the trocars and 2) Infiltration of the surgical wounds at the trocar sites with 0.75% Ropivacaine 1 mg / kg in 20 ml of NaCl

PARTICIPANT, INVESTIGATOR
Masking Details
The participant won't know to what study group they are assigned and will be under general anaesthesia. The study medication will be prepared in the operating room right before use. This means that neither the anaesthesiologist nor the surgeon, performing the surgery, are blinded. The investigators filling in the questionnaires, the patients or the nurses of the recovery room will always be blinded to the study groups, as will the nurse contacting the patients for the follow up.
Purpose
TREATMENT
Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: We will be using ropivacaine - naropin 7,5mg/ml, a local anaesthetic of the amide type. The administered dose of this local anaesthetic will be 3mg/kg for each patient. Depending on the study group the patient belongs to, this dose will be given in full by either local injection at the trocar entry points or by intraperitoneal injection or it will be divided between both injection sites
