    AimTo investigate the influence of a robotic camera holder on postoperative pain in women undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy.Patients And MethodsSixty-one women were prospectively enrolled in the study and underwent either conventional laparoscopy or laparoscopy using an active camera holder. Twenty-four and 48 h after surgery abdominal pain was assessed using the short form of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Demographic data, and clinical and surgical parameters were evaluated.ResultsTwenty-seven women underwent laparoscopy with an active camera holder (study group) and 34 women underwent laparoscopy with human camera assistance (control group). Women in the study group were older (43.5±8.6 vs. 37.4±10.4 years; p=0.018) while the duration of surgery was shorter in women who underwent conventional laparoscopy (97±37 vs. 71±33 min; p=0.005). Total pain scores 24 h (28.3±24.2 vs. 44.0±35.0; p=0.049643) as well as 48 h (18.0±20.0 vs. 33.8±31.0; p=0.016) after surgery were significantly less in the study group.ConclusionThe usage of a robotic camera holder results in less postoperative pain in women undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy.
