Effect of Preventive Analgesia by Injection of a Local Anesthetic Before Vaginal Incision for Hysterectomy by vNOTES Approach

Phase 3RecruitingNCT05969457

University Hospital, Rouen108 enrolled

Overview

The research procedure is the injection of 20 mL of Ropivacaine solution (vs. saline) to create a paracervical block at the beginning of surgery, while the patient is already under general anesthesia. This injection will take place 3 minutes before the vaginal incision, via 4 injection points. Injections are made 3 mm deep into the vaginal cul de sac. Randomization takes place before surgery by vNOTES: * Experienced group: Local anesthesia with injection of Ropivacaine (20mL of ropivacaine 7.5 mg/mL, i.e. 150mg) and general anesthesia * Control group: Injection of 20mL of placebo (saline) and general anesthesia In both groups, systematic intraoperative and postoperative analgesia will be identical.
