Summary
Hypothesis: Postoperative pain will be equivalent in patients receiving preemptive oral
acetaminophen as compared to patients receiving preemptive intravenous acetaminophen
following minimally invasive benign gynecologic surgery.
Primary outcome:
• Difference in postoperative pain comparing preemptive use of PO versus IV acetaminophen
o Mean Visual analog Scale (VAS) scores will be compared between the intervention group (PO
acetaminophen) and the control group (IV acetaminophen).
Secondary outcomes:
- Difference in postoperative analgesic use between groups
o Narcotics, NSAIDs
- Difference in postoperative N/V between groups
o Patient rated measure - none, mild, moderate, severe
- Cost comparison between drugs
