Multicenter StudyAnesthetic management of prophylactic cervical cerclage: a retrospective multicenter cohort study.
Cervical incompetence complicates approximately 1 in 500 pregnancies and is the most common cause of second-trimester spontaneous abortion and preterm labor. No prospective or large retrospective studies have compared regional and general anesthesia for cervical cerclage. ⋯ Both regional and general anesthesia were safely used for the performance of cerclage. Patients after general anesthesia had a shorter recovery time but a higher demand for opioids and non-opioids analgesia.

Randomized Controlled TrialTopical anaesthetic patches for postoperative wound pain in laparoscopic gynaecological surgery: a prospective, blinded and randomised trial.
Aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effectiveness of eutectic mixture of local anaesthetic (EMLA) patches on every abdominal incision for pain relief after gynaecologic laparoscopic surgery. ⋯ Despite of a significant reduction of time for mobilisation transdermal anaesthetic patches after gynaecologic laparoscopic surgery did not lead to decreased postoperative pain scores.
