Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rescue analgesia timeFirst 24 hours postoperatively

Time for first analgesia requirement

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The total analgesic consumptionFirst 24 hours postoperatively

Postoperative analgesia will be provided with intramuscular (IM) meperidine 50 mg to both groups when the VAS score is ≥4. The total meperidine consumption will be recorded.

Patient's pain scoreFirst 24 hours postoperatively

Pain score will be done by visual analog scale (VAS) (minimum 0 = no pain, while maximum 10 cm = worst possible pain). Pain score will be recorded just after extubation (taken as 0 h) and after 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18 and 24 h later. Patients will be instructed about the usage of VAS scalebefore the operation.
