About this trial
The goal of this randomized study looks at whether giving patients a medicine called acetazolamide (also called Diamox) before they have laparoscopic hysterectomy may decrease postoperative pain. Researchers will compare acetazolamide to a placebo or inactive drug, to see if acetazolamide helps the pain that may occur after surgery from the gas used in the abdomen during the laparoscopic procedure. Patients will be asked to rate their pain before surgery and after surgery through 24 hours.
