In the researchers' words
The purpose of this trial is to determine the effect of spraying a local anesthetic called Ropivacaine (numbing medicine) into the abdominal cavity prior to surgery. Ropivacaine is a local anesthetic used to block pain in the body. There are studies showing that Ropivacaine decreases the pain of surgery with minimally invasive (laparoscopic) appendix and gallbladder removal but has not been tried in robotic pelvic surgery.
