Name	Time	Method
Postoperative analgesic consumption	Up to the postoperative 24th hours.	Total opioid dosage will be recorded
PCA device usage	During postoperative 24 hours	The number of demand dose
PCA device demand dose duration	During postoperative 24hours	The duration of the patients' demanding dose
