Abstract

Postoperative pain remains a significant challenge with the growing number of abdominoplasties every year. Opioids are currently considered the mainstay modality for controlling postoperative pain. However, opioid-related side effects raise the need for a safer and more effective approach. In this study, we aimed to investigate these alternative evidence-based postoperative pain relief modalities following abdominoplasty.
