Preemptive Oral Compared With Intravenous Acetaminophen for Postoperative Pain After Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

CONCLUSION: No difference in pain was observed 2 hours postoperatively when comparing preoperative administration of oral compared with intravenous acetaminophen. Given the ease of administration and lower cost of oral dosing, this study supports the oral route as part of the enhanced recovery after surgery protocol for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
