Does Bupivacaine in Laparoscopic Portals Reduce Post Surgery Pain in Tubal Ligation by Electrocoagulation?

Summary

The use of bupivacaine , an anesthesic, in laparoscopic portals is recommended in some surgeries. In the ase of tubal ligation by electrocoagulation, where pain is reduced, there is no evidence of this benefit. The objective of this study is to verify the degree of pain after laparoscopic tubal ligation surgery in patient who received bupivacaine 0.5% in the portal, or placebo
