Epidural versus general anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for women having laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It aims to see which method provides better pain control and recovery.

This trial tests if injecting a numbing medicine called bupivacaine into the abdomen during surgery can reduce pain after a laparoscopic hysterectomy (uterus removal through small cuts). It may help you recover with less discomfort.
This study compares general anesthesia alone to two types of combined anesthesia (general plus spinal) to see which reduces the amount of opioid painkillers needed during and after a laparoscopic hysterectomy. It may help patients recover with less reliance on strong pain medications.
This study compares two ways to provide anesthesia during a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus): a spinal block (numbing the lower half of the body) versus general anesthesia (being completely asleep). It aims to see which approach is better or more comfortable for women having this surgery.
This study compares two types of pain medicine given during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one is a morphine shot into the spine, the other is numbing medicine injected around the surgery cuts and into the belly. The goal is to see which helps you recover better and with less pain.
This study tests two types of anesthesia for laparoscopic hysterectomy: one that uses opioids (strong painkillers) and one that avoids them. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better after surgery.
This study compares three ways to give anesthesia during laparoscopic hysterectomy: one type of gas (sevoflurane) with or without a lidocaine IV drip, versus a different IV anesthesia (propofol). The goal is to see which approach best protects pressure inside your head and oxygen levels in your brain during surgery.
