Abstract

Objectives: Postoperative pain is a common fear of patients before surgery and adequate pain control is frequently used as a quality measure in surgical care delivery. The question of whether epidural analgesia (EA) provides better pain control than patient-controlled parenteral opioid analgesia (PCA) remains controversial. We sought to determine the effect of EA compared to PCA on postoperative recovery parameters and pain scores.
