Although initial results have been encouraging, uptake of gabapentin in routine clinical use remains limited due to mixed results and variability between gabapentin protocols, including dosing and duration. Christiana Care Health System (CCHS) plans to implement the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol which administers preoperative medications to reduce postoperative pain, including acetaminophen, celecoxib, dexamethasone, and gabapentin. Therefore the aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of a single dose of preoperative gabapentin protocol to reduce acute postoperative pain in women undergoing a minimally invasive hysterectomy.
