Demographic data of the patients, change of pain scores at rest and with coughing, postoperative pain scores, postoperative analgesic need were evaluated.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis,
  • with abdominal pain,
  • tap block applied for perioperative pain management.

You may not qualify if:

  • The data of patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy
  • additional surgical procedure other than appendectomy (right hemicolectomy, etc.)
  • who were diagnosed other than acute appendicitis after the surgical procedure (diverticulitis, tumor, etc.),
