Comparison of the Effects of M-TAPA Versus the Combination of M-TAPA and EXOP Blocks on Postoperative Pain in Laparoscopic Gynecologic Surgeries
Laparoscopic gynecologic surgery is less invasive than open surgery, but many patients still experience pain after the procedure. M-TAPA and EXOP are ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia techniques used to reduce abdominal pain. Previous research suggests that M-TAPA provides effective pain relief on the anterior abdominal wall, while EXOP may help reduce pain in the lateral abdominal region. This study aims to determine whether combining M-TAPA with EXOP provides better postoperative pain control than using M-TAPA alone. The study will compare pain scores during the first 24 hours after surgery, the need for rescue analgesic medication, and recovery quality using the QoR-15 questionnaire. All procedures are part of routine clinical care, and no experimental drugs or devices are used.
