5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery will receive regional anesthesia or general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. The investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility and safety of regional anesthesia for laparoscopic gynecological procedures.
Detailed Description
Commonly, laparoscopic gynecological procedures are performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.
The use of regional anesthesia in laparoscopy is reserved to patients declared unfit for general anesthesia because of severe comorbidities or it is applied in combination with general anesthesia to decrease postoperative pain.
Recently, growing literature evidence supports the use of regional anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopy.
The combination of minimally invasive surgery with regional anesthesia could increase the advantages of laparoscopic operations (less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stay, etc).
