The aim of this prospective randomized study was to evaluate the impact of peroperative pupillometry monitoring on per and post-operative opioid consumption in major gynecological surgery. All patients were anesthetized with TCI of propofol and remifentanil. In the intervention group, peroperative remifentanil target was guided by pupillometry. In the other group, remifentanil was administered according to standard practice.
