Key result
Preemptive epidural analgesia produced a more stable hemodynamic state during laparoscopic hysterectomy and significantly reduced postoperative pain compared to control.

Supports preemptive epidural analgesia in laparoscopic hysterectomy; extends RCT evidence to gynecologic laparoscopy.
RCT (n=50)
Does preemptive epidural analgesia improve intraoperative hemodynamics and reduce postoperative pain in ASA 1 and 2 patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy?
Preemptive epidural analgesia with lidocaine provides better hemodynamic stability and postoperative pain control during laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Park et al. (2005) conducted an RCT in Laparoscopic hysterectomy (n=50). Preemptive epidural analgesia vs. No epidural analgesia (control) was evaluated on Intraoperative hemodynamics and postoperative pain scores. Preemptive epidural analgesia produced a more stable hemodynamic state during laparoscopic hysterectomy and significantly reduced postoperative pain compared to control.
