Abstract
Following reports that tubal smooth muscle spasm may contribute to pelvic pain following laparoscopic sterilisation, we studied the effect of buscopan (an anticholinergic agent used to relieve smooth muscle spasm) on 45 patients undergoing general anaesthesia for day-case laparoscopic sterilisation. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either buscopan 20 mg or saline placebo after induction of anaesthesia. There were no significant differences in pain scores or postoperative analgesic requirements between the two groups. We conclude that intravenous buscopan confers no benefit in day-case laparoscopic sterilisation.
