Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was designed retrospectively. The investigators evaluated analgesia methods in patients undergoing surgery for gynaecological cancer between January 2024 and December 2024. The investigators evaluated the effect of transversus abdominis plane block on postoperative analgesia and opioid use.
