Reducing shoulder pain after keyhole gynecologic surgery
Part of Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special breathing technique combined with actively removing gas from your belly after surgery can reduce shoulder pain that sometimes happens after keyhole gynecologic surgery. If you're having this type of surgery, you might experience less discomfort after.
