Effects of intra-operative infusion of lidocaine on postoperative pain and quality of recovery in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery: A randomized controlled trial.
Abstract
Early recovery is desirable after day care surgery. Intravenous lidocaine has anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperalgesic, and analgesic effects and by reducing postoperative pain, nausea, vomiting, and duration of postoperative ileus and hospital stay, might be a useful adjuvant to improve recovery after gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
