The Effect of Analgesia Methods Applied in Gynecological Cancer Surgeries on Postoperative Analgesia

Four-quadrant Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Intrathecal Morphine in Gynecological Cancer Surgeries: a Single-center Retrospective Study.

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of intrathecal morphine and four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane block applied for postoperative analgesia in gynecological cancer surgeries.

The key question(s) it aims to answer are:

[Is intrathecal morphine more effective in postoperative analgesia?] Patients who underwent gynecological cancer surgery were examined retrospectively. The investigators evaluated the effect of intrathecal morphine and four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane block applied for postoperative analgesia on pain scores and postoperative opioid use.

Our study was designed retrospectively. The investigators evaluated analgesia methods in patients who underwent laparoscopic or open surgery due to gynecological cancer between June 2023 and December 2023. The investigators evaluated the effect of intrathecal morphine and four-quadrant transversus abdominis plane block on postoperative analgesia and opioid use.

Group 1: Intrathecal morphine administered group Group 2: Four quadrant transversus abdominis plane block applied group
