A PROSPECTIVE STUDY ON USE OF FENTANYL IN SPINAL ANAESTHESIA FOR LAPAROSCOPIC HYSTERECTOMY

Abstract

Introduction: Laparoscopic surgeries hysterectomy is routinely performed laparoscopically. It
has many advantages as compared to open abdominal hysterectomy such as less post operative 
pain, better cosmetic results, shorter hospital stay, lower complication rate. However 
Laparoscopic surgeries are routinely performed under general anaesthesia with endotracheal 
intubation to prevent aspirations of gastric contents and respiratory embarrassment secondary to 
pneumoperitoneum. But it has several disadvantages like hemodynamic instability, postoperative
nausea and vomiting, increased postoperative analgesic requirement, complications related to 
intubation or extubation and postoperative sore throat.
