Drain placement to reduce belly pain after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a temporary drain in a specific way can reduce belly pain after laparoscopic (keyhole) gynecologic surgery for uterine fibroids. It may help by lowering discomfort during the early recovery period after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have uterine fibroids and are scheduled for laparoscopic gynecologic surgery
- Your overall health before surgery is considered low risk (ASA I–II)
- You can understand and clearly tell the study team about your pain
- Your surgery should stay laparoscopic (not changed to open surgery)
- You have no other known reasons for belly pain, such as other required upper-abdominal surgery

This study looks at whether placing a small drain inside the belly during keyhole gynecologic surgery can help reduce pain afterward. It may be an option for women having planned surgery for non-cancer conditions like ovarian cysts or endometriosis.
This trial tests a method to drain gas from the abdomen after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery to reduce shoulder pain. If you are a woman having this type of surgery for more than 20 minutes, this may help you feel better afterward.
