Summary

This study tested whether a specific nerve block (rectus sheath block) using a long-lasting anesthetic can reduce the need for opioid painkillers after gynecologic cancer surgery. Thirty patients received the block and were compared to 60 similar patients who had standard pain treatment. The goal was to see if the block could control pain effectively while lowering opioid use and side effects.
