This prospective randomized controlled study will determine the efficacy of continuous local
anesthesia at decreasing pain scores compared to patient controlled analgesia for pelvic
organ prolapse procedures including posterior colporrhaphy and sacrospinous ligament
fixation.
anesthesia at decreasing pain scores compared to patient controlled analgesia for pelvic
organ prolapse procedures including posterior colporrhaphy and sacrospinous ligament
fixation.
Direct post-operative analgesia can be administered via a direct continuous analgesia pumps
providing local anesthetic into a dissected area. To date, no studies have been conducted to
evaluate pain control or infection with vaginal placement of catheters for pelvic organ
prolapse surgery. To help pelvic surgeons assess the relative benefit of continuous local
infusion of topical anesthetic following sacrospinous ligament fixation versus PCA pump, we
compared pain scores, narcotic, anti-pruritic and anti-emetic drug usage, and wound
complications.
