Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The primary outcome of this study was to determine the difference in additional analgesic requirement ratio in the early postoperative period (4 hours) between groups. Patients who needed additional analgesic during postoperative 4 hours were recorded by an investigator who was blinded to the study groups. Ratio of the number of patients who needed additional analgesic was noted in each group when performing data analysis.[Analgesic requirement was noted at 1., 2., 3. and 4. postoperative hours.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Postoperative VAS scores. Pain was assessed by an investigator who was blinded to the study groups at hourly intervals during postoperative 4 hours, and postoperative 24. hour. Pain was assessed by using a standard two sided plastic millimetric scale, ranging from 0 mm:no pain to 100 mm: worst pain imaginable.[VAS measurement were recorded at 1., 2., 3., 4. and 24. postoperative hours. ];Length of stay in PACU. The time between arrival in PACU and completion of the Modified Aldrete Score greater than or equal to 9 was recorded by an investigator .[The time between arrival in PACU and completion of the Modified Aldrete Score greater than or equal to 9 was recorded as length of stay in PACU.]
