Summary
This study will help to answer the question, "Does injecting local anesthetic before
laparoscopic instrument ports are placed decrease pain after surgery?" Patients participating
will be randomly assigned to receive local anesthetic or saline injection at the site of a
laparoscopic instrument port as part of their planned surgery. After surgery at 4 and 24
hours the patient will be asked to rate their pain on a simple chart.
