The advancement of laparoscopy and minimal access surgery has greatly influenced the evolution of anaesthetic techniques. However, postoperative pain intensity may be significant, with up to 40% of patients unsatisfied by routine analgesia and up to 80%may require rescue opioids during their hospital stay. Diagnostic gynaecological laparoscopy has no origin of pain other than the abdominal gas insufflations itself only. Pain relief after diagnostic laparoscopy, being a day case, is an issue of great practical importance. Pain after Laparoscopy is considered to arise from 3 main sources: the incision sites (50% to 70%), the pneumoperitoneum (20% to 30%) in association with both local (peritoneal and diaphragmatic stretching, ischemia, acidosis) and systemic (hypercarbia causing sympathetic nervous system excitation resulting in amplification of the local tissue inflammatory response) changes, and the procedure site (10% to 20%) as postcholecystectomy wound within the liver. Pain can also be referred from the subdiaphragmatic region as shoulder pain. Shoulder pain is often mild in intensity and can remain for 24 hours. Incisional pain is usually mild to moderate in intensity, and maximal immediately postoperatively, subsiding with time. Local anaesthetic (LA) to be filtered preincisional can not entirely eliminate postoperative pain, especially shoulder pain, In contrast, Intraperitoneal local anaesthetic instillation is a known method of providing post-laparoscopy pain relief. Lidocaine is safe and effective in pain relief, improving respiratory functions and early return of bowel motility. The local anaesthetic blocks visceral nociception from the peritoneum locally as well as a having a systemic effect after absorption through the peritoneal surface . The systemic analgesic effect of LA is induced through an anti-inflammatory effect by peripheral suppression of acute chemically induced pain, inhibition of nerve conduction, as well as having a central antihyperalgesic effect. The pulmonary recruitment manoeuvre (RM) can mechanically remove residual carbon dioxide (CO2) after laparoscopic surgery, reduce phrenic nerve irritation, and consequently reduce post-laparoscopic shoulder and upper abdominal pain. The combined effect of these two methods ,using various local anaesthetics , on pain following laparoscopic procedures has not been reported. This study will investigate the efficacy of combining local anaesthetic infiltration of Lidocaine with pulmonary recruitment manoeuvre on postoperative pain following diagnostic Gynaecologic laparoscopy. For blinding, Pulmonary recruitment maneuver will be combined with intraperitoneal instillation of saline. However, intraperitoneal saline is a known simple maneuver to decrease shoulder pain. A possible explanation is that saline displaces residual pockets of gas from within the peritoneal cavity and thereby prevents loss of suction support between the liver and diaphragm. In this study we hypothesized that combining simple maneuver like pulmonary recruitment with intraperitoneal instillation of local anaesthetic would be more effective than pulmonary recruitment alone.
