Summary
Pre-emptive local anaesthetics are widely used in laparoscopic surgery, but there is no
really consistent evidence that it is useful. Studies in the literature have shown
contradicting results. At our hospital we are currently using pre-emptive local anaesthetics
in the trocar areas, but as the literature does not give a clear and clinically relevant
answer, we need to find out more. This study aims to see if pre-emptive local anaesthetics
are useful in the setting of our day-case, laparoscopic surgery.
