| Abstract | Objectives: To study the effectiveness of a cold gel pack for reducing surgical wound pain in patients undergoing complete surgical staging Materials and Methods: We enrolled women 18 or older with gynecologic malignancy and undergoing complete surgical staging by gynecologic oncologists between November 2021 and May 2022. They were randomly assigned to two groups: the study group who received a cold gel pack applied to the low midline surgical wound 6 h post-operatively, and the control group who received standard post-operative care. Post-operative pain at 2, 6, and 12 h were evaluated.Results: Forty eligible women were enrolled. Post-operative pain at 12 h was lower in the study group albeit not statistically significant (4.95 ? 1.67 vs 5.90 ? 1.65, p = 0.08). Time to first flatus and additional opioids consumption were also not significantly different between groups (2,506.50 ? 85.86 vs 2,473.50 ? 189.69 min, p = 0.2) and (11.80 ? 3.37 vs 12.05 ? 3.52 mg, p = 0.85). No adverse events were observed. Conclusion: Cold gel pack did not significantly reduce post-operative pain compared with standard post-operative care in patients undergoing complete surgical staging. |
