Comparing anesthesia methods to reduce opioid use after laparoscopic hysterectomy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of general anesthesia versus two types of combined anesthesia in managing opioid consumption following laparoscopic hysterectomy. It aims to determine whether mixing intrathecal fentanyl with spinal anesthesia and intrathecal morphine affects post-operative pain levels and analgesic needs. The study addresses the importance of effective pain management to minimize complications, healthcare costs, and the risk of readmission. By comparing these anesthesia methods, the research seeks to identify the best approach for reducing opioid-related side effects and improving patient outcomes.
