This study compares post-operative incisional pain on post-operative days 1 and 7 who will undergo gynecologic laparoscopic operations. Half of participants will undergo conventional fascial closure, while the other will undergo fascial closure by Berci Fascial Closure (Karl Storz, Belgium).
Studies have demonstrated that laparoscopic surgery has numerous advantages over laparotomy. The patients who undergo laparoscopic surgery acquired fewer doses of analgesics than who undergo laparotomy. This point is also one of the advantages of the laparoscopic surgery. The fascia closure in fascial defects larger than 10 mm diameters in laparoscopic surgery is an important issue. Incisional hernias may occur after laparoscopic surgery. The surgeons prefer the techniques in fascial closure which is more safe and cause less pain. In current study, investigators aim to compare the post-operative incisional pain in two different techniques in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery; conventional versus by 'Berci Fascial Closure'.

Conventional technique: In this group; S-retractors will be used to visualize the fascia and a single interrupted stitch will be placed using 0-vicryl suture.
Berci group: In this group; the fascial incision will be closed with the fascial closure device, (Berci Fascial Closure instrument) using 1 interrupted stitch with 0-vicryl suture.
