Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyTopical diclofenac patch for postoperative wound pain in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery: a randomized study.
To compare pain management of standard analgesic and standard analgesic plus diclofenac transdermal patch in patients who undergo laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. ⋯ Diclofenac transdermal administration seems a valid help to standard analgesic treatment in postoperative pain control and could also help reduce the period of hospitalization of patients who undergo laparoscopic benign gynecologic surgery.

Effect of body habitus and parity on insufflated CO2 volume at various intraabdominal pressures during laparoscopic access in women.
To determine height, weight, body mass index (BMI), parity, and age effect on the volume of CO2 pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic access in women. ⋯ Higher CO2 volume is required to establish appropriate pneumoperitoneum in tall, overweight, and parous women at 20 to 30 mm Hg. Setting the IPIP at 20 to 30 mm Hg before primary trocar insertion eliminates the need to monitor CO2 insufflated volume regardless of women's age, parity, and body habitus.
