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

postoperative numerical rating scale
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.
Time frame: 24 hours postoperatively
postoperative opioid use
Our secondary aim was to evaluate opioid demand and consumption amounts in the postoperative 24 hours.
Time frame: 24 hours postoperatively
