Summary
Rectus sheath block (RSB) is used for postoperative pain relief in patients undergoing
abdominal surgery with a midline incision. It has proved to be effective in preoperative
block, but it has not been previously compared with postoperative block. The aim of the
present study is to evaluate postoperative pain, sleep quality and changes in the cytokine
levels of patients undergoing gynaecological surgery with RSB performed preoperatively versus
postoperatively.
