Summary

Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures after cesarean section in many countries worldwide, especially among women of reproductive age. Postoperative pain is typically managed with oral and parenteral narcotics. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is an effective pain management method that provides advantages such as faster pain relief, better dosage control, and elimination of the need for timer adjustments. Facilitating the recovery process and optimizing postoperative pain management are crucial components of perioperative care. To minimize systemic opioid requirements and opioid-related side effects, multimodal analgesia combining local anesthesia, peripheral, and non-opioid analgesics has become increasingly popular.

Conditions

• Abdominal Hysterectomy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Intratechal Morphine	Prior to induction, the patient will be positioned seated, and morphine will be slowly injected intrathecally at a dose of 5 μg/kg, adjusted to the L4-L5 or L3-L4 intervertebral space using a 27G pencil point spinal needle. The injection will be administered over approximately 10 seconds
OTHER	Transversalis Fascia Plane Block	Prior to induction, patients will be positioned supine, and bilateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block will be performed with the aid of ultrasound. As the blocking agent, 20 cc of 0.25% bupivacaine will be used bilaterally.
