Intrarectal diazepam following pelvic reconstructive surgery: a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial
Patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with native tissue pelvic reconstruction typically have low pain levels overall in the postoperative period. Notwithstanding, pain control immediately after surgery may be more challenging and a barrier to same-day discharge. Intrarectal diazepam has been used for acute and chronic pelvic pain and has a pharmacokinetic profile ideal for intermittent use. However, its use has not been investigated after the surgical intervention.
