The Effect of a Preoperative Single-dose Methylprednisolone on the Postoperative Rehabilitation After Abdominal Hysterectomy
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 125 mg methylprednisolone, given intravenously 60-90 minutes before abdominal surgery,on the postoperative rehabilitation after abdominal hysterectomy.Sodium Chloride is the placebo. The following parameters are registered:
1. Pain 3, 6 and 24 hours postoperatively and 2-7 days after surgery.
2. The postoperative use of additional analgesics.
3. Inflammatory parameters before and after surgery.
4. Time until mobilization.
5. Time until discharge.
