Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of epidural block or erector spinae plane block applied for postoperative analgesia in gynecological cancer surgeries. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: \[Is erector spinae plane block as effective as epidural block in postoperative analgesia?\] The study was designed as a prospective randomized study. Researchers evaluated the effects of epidural block or erector spinae plane block applied for postoperative analgesia on pain scores, postoperative opioid use, and mobilization in patients undergoing gynecological cancer surgery.

Detailed description

Our study was designed as a prospective randomized study. The investigators evaluated the analgesia methods used in patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer between May 2024 and December 2024. The investigators evaluated the effect of epidural block or erector spina plan block on postoperative analgesia, opioid use and mobilization. Group 1: Epidural block group Group 2: Group with erector spina plan block

Conditions

• Analgesia
• Analgesia, Epidural
• ERAS

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Patients who underwent epidural block	The researchers administered an epidural block to prevent post-operative pain to the epidural block group undergoing midline incision surgery for major gynecologic cancer.
PROCEDURE	Patients who underwent erector spina plane block	Researchers applied a erector spina plane block to prevent postoperative pain to the erector spina plane block group undergoing midline incision surgery for major gynecological cancer.
