This is a randomized controlled trial evaluating whether application of ice packs and scheduled ketorolac to the surgical site after laparoscopic hysterectomy reduces need for narcotic medications.

Detailed description

Patients who undergo laparoscopic hysterectomy and chose to participate in the study will be randomized to either receive the standard post-surgical analgesic protocol (control group) or the standard post-surgical analgesic protocol plus scheduled ketorolac and surgical site ice packs.
