Article Abstract
Background: Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic for postoperative pain management. However, data on its combined use with nefopam for managing postoperative pain following laparoscopic hysterectomy are limited. This study evaluated the effects of a single intravenous dose of acetaminophen combined with fentanyl- and nefopam-based patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Methods: In this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 84 patients were randomized to receive either 1 g of intravenous acetaminophen (treatment group, n = 42) or normal saline (control group, n = 42) at the end of surgery. All patients received fentanyl and nefopam via PCA, postoperatively. PCA consumption, pain scores at rest, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) scores were assessed at 1, 6, and 24 h postoperatively. Patient satisfaction and opioid-related side effects were also evaluated. The primary outcome was the total PCA consumption within the first 24 h.
Results: No significant difference in 24-h PCA consumption was observed between the control and treatment groups (27.9 ± 16.6 vs. 26.4 ± 11.2, P = 0.623). The pain scores at rest measured at 1, 6, and 24 h after surgery were also not significantly different between the two groups. There were no differences in the satisfaction scores, PONV scores, rescue analgesic use, adverse effects, or length of hospital stay between the groups.
Conclusions: A single intraoperative dose of intravenous acetaminophen, combined with nefopam- and fentanyl-based PCA, did not significantly reduce analgesic requirements, pain scores at rest, or opioid-related side effects compared with placebo in laparoscopic hysterectomy patients.

Background: Gynecologic enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been developed to reduce postoperative narcotic use through multimodal pain management. While incisional injection of local anesthetic is standard practice, regional nerve blockades using liposomal agents are emerging as a promising adjunct technique for post-laparoscopy pain. Current data are conflicting regarding the benefits of regional nerve blocks on postoperative pain after laparoscopic hysterectomy.

This study aimed to compare different hysterectomy techniques regarding postsurgical pain. Women who underwent hysterectomy for nonmalignant etiologies between January 2019 and March 2023 were included in this retrospective study. The participants were divided into 4 groups based on the surgical techniques performed: abdominal hysterectomy (AH), laparoscopic hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy, and vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES).

Aim: This study aimed to compare short- and long-term surgical outcomes between robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC), performed with concomitant total hysterectomy, in patients with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 167 women who underwent RSC (n = 113) or LSC (n = 54) with hysterectomy for uterine prolapse at Kawasaki Medical University between March 2020 and December 2024. Perioperative parameters, complications (Clavien-Dindo classification), and POP recurrence were assessed.

Introduction: Giant borderline ovarian tumours (GBOTs) are rare neoplasms that require meticulous management to prevent high-risk operative complications. The broader goal of this systematic review is to consolidate the existing knowledge on GBOTs by focusing on diagnostic approaches, differential diagnoses, and treatment strategies. Furthermore, the relationship between the clinical features of GBOTs and the types of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures implemented was determined.

Objective: This study evaluates emergency department (ED) visits within the first 30 days following hysterectomy for benign gynecologic conditions, identifying risk factors and strategies for prevention.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 2,119 patients who underwent hysterectomy at a high-volume tertiary center between January 2023 and December 2024. Demographic, perioperative, and postoperative variables were analyzed, and predictors of ED visits were assessed using multivariable logistic regression.
