Summary
This is a clinical investigation to determine the efficacy of rectal versus intravenous
acetaminophen in patients undergoing a minimally invasive hysterectomy. All women will
receive acetaminophen either rectally or intravenously immediately postoperative, prior to
extubation. Patient's will be randomly assigned to either the rectal acetaminophen or the
intravenous acetaminophen group. Patient outcomes will be measured through a Numeric Rating
Scale (NRS) from 0-10 for pain scores, and total opioid consumption measured in morphine
milligram equivalent (MME) for the first 24 hours following surgery, or upon discharge,
whichever comes first.
