Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of placing numbing medication
around the cervix prior to performing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery in decreasing pain
after surgery. The study focuses on laparoscopic hysterectomies and robotic-assisted
myomectomies. It will assess whether patients who receive the medication experience less pain
and require less pain medication post operatively and if it helps reduce the number of
patients who require hospitalization for pain control following surgery.
