COMPARISON OF PLAIN BLOCKS FOR POSTOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT IN GYNECOLOGICAL ABDOMINAL SURGERIES

Group E (n=20): Bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) block will be performed with 40 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine (20 ml on each side) at the T12 level, approximately 3-4 cm laterally from the midline, in the neurofascial plane between the transverse processes and the erector spinae muscle.

Group Q (n=20): Bilateral quadratus lumborum block (QLB) will be performed with 40 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine (20 ml on each side), placed between the psoas major and quadratus lumborum muscles under US guidance, between the iliac crest and the 12th rib.

Group T (n=20): Bilateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block will be performed with 40 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine (20 ml on each side) in the neurofascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles.

Group C (Control group, n=20): No block will be applied, only the standard intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) protocol will be used.
