Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in gynaecological cancer surgery. The main question(s) aimed to be answered are: \[For postoperative analgesia, a block performed by the surgeon in the area seen or a block performed by the anaesthetist before surgery?\] Patients undergoing gynaecological cancer surgery were retrospectively reviewed. The investigators evaluated the effect of a four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia on pain scores and postoperative opioid use.

- description
- Our primary aim was to evaluate numerical rating scale at 24 hours postoperatively. numerical rating scale(NRS) was used to assess postoperative pain. NRS values were recorded For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
