Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) :	Preoperative Gabapentin to Prevent Postoperative Shoulder Pain after Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy: A Randomized Clinical Trial Mehrnaz Valadan 1 ; Sakineh Banifatemi 1 ; Fardin Yousefshahi 2; Pouya Bandegi3 1 Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Women Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 2 Anesthesiology and Critical Care Department, Women Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 3 McGill University, Montreal, Canada Background: Patients undergoing gynecology laparoscopy frequently experience shoulder pain as a common postoperative complication. Considering diaphragm stimulation in its pathophysiology, there are some advice to prevent or control this special form of referral pain. Objectives: The current study aimed to assess the prophylactic effect of preoperative administration of oral gabapentin to prevent Post Laparoscopic Shoulder Pain (PLSP) after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy. Patients and Methods: In a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial 40 female patients who were candidates to have elective laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy, received uniformed capsules containing gabapentin 600 mg or placebo 30 minutes before anesthesia induction. All patients had the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status of I-II and none had pervious abdominal surgery. Thereafter, the presence of side effects and PLSP and its severity was assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in the beginning of surgery and 2, 6, 12 hours after the surgery. Results: Comparing the gabapentin (n = 20) and placebo (n = 20) groups, basic characteristics including age (P = 0.446), Body Mass Index (BMI) (P = 0.876), pregnancy history (P = 0.660), and surgery time (P = 0.232) were statistically similar. PLSP occurrence was less frequent in the gabapentin group (45%) compared with the placebo group (75%) (P = 0.053), while In gabapentin group the VAS scores were lower in 2(P = 0.004), 6 (P = 0.132), and 12 (P = 0.036) hours, post operatively. Conclusions: Prophylactic gabapentin administration could be considered as an effective and safe intervention to reduce occurrence and severity of PLSP after gynecologic laparoscopic cystectomy.

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) :	My experience in this trip was good. I booked Hotel Frontair Congress Barcelona Carrer dels Alberedes, 16, 08830 Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona where was the congress venue. it was 45 minutes to city center.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: :	Since I booked the congress hotel, it was very convenient to attend the congress. I submitted my presentation in power point format when I was in Iran about five days before starting the congress. It was the rule of congress to prevent their computers getting any viruses. it was the first time i had this experience. I think it is very good idea since when you want to present your article, everything is in order and ready.
