Purpose
The aim of this trial is to compare if a single dose of oral etoricoxib 120 mg will have equal post-operative analgesic efficacy as an optimal regiment of intravenous ketorolac 30 mg + 30 mg during the first 18 hours (+/- 1 hour) after gynaecologic laparoscopic surgical procedures, where the need for post-operative opioid is expected.
