Pain Relief Without Opioids for Abdominal Surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a completely opioid-free anesthesia approach works as well as standard general anesthesia for people having laparoscopic or robotic urological surgery. It aims to offer effective pain control without using strong opioid painkillers.
