Abstract Background The incidence of shoulder pain following laparoscopic surgery has been reported to be high. This study was designed to investigate the effect of Hemovac drain on postoperative pain of women after laparoscopic surgery, dose of postoperative drug, duration of hospitalization as well as comparison with deep breathing technique. Methods In this clinical trial, one hundred and fourteen female patients treated by laparoscopy were randomly assigned to three groups of 38 patients. In our study group, the Hemovac drain was implemented from the secondary trocar site with a closed system. In the deep breathing group, the patient was asked to breathe slowly and deeply three time per hour at full vigilance after surgery. In the non-drain group, laparoscopic surgery was done routinely. The severity of abdominal and shoulder pain was measured with a visual scale of pain at 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after surgery. Results There were no significant differences in age, type of surgery, duration of hospitalization, postoperative nausea and vomiting between the groups after surgery. The severity of shoulder pain was significant between groups 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after surgery (p
