Summary

Pain following laparoscopic hysterectomy may interfere with early ambulation, discharge of patient from hospital and interfere with enhanced recovery with more opioid consumption. Most of methods for postoperative pain depend on the use of high doses of opioids with more side effects such as nausea, vomiting, respiratory center depression, delay bowel motility and hemodynamics instability. To decrease of opioid consumption in postoperative pain management as well as related side effects, previous studies showed that quadratus lumborum block or superior hypogastric plexus block (SHPB) had shown promising success in management of postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. The present study will be conducted to compare of ultrasound guided QL block and laparoscopic superior hypogastric plexus block as a part of multimodal analgesia may allow adequate analgesia and decrease the overall use of opioids and allow patient enhanced recovery.
