About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether different positioning in the operating room during removal of laparoscopic surgical gas differs in post-surgery shoulder pain. An additional goal of this study is to evaluate whether positions change other post-surgery metrics such as bloating, time to passing gas, nausea and vomiting, and time to oral intake.
Researchers will compare Trendelenburg positioning where your head is tilted down to supine (level or flat) positioning during removal of surgical gas.
Participants will be asked to complete brief surveys at 24 and 72-hours post-surgery.
