Abstract

In recent years, the presence and intervention of technology in surgery, such as the use of laparoscopy, has led to significant changes and developments in reducing postoperative complications for patients (especially infection and wound complications). 1, 2 Therefore, minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopy are known as the gold standard and treatment of choice for many diseases. The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over open surgery include reduced postoperative pain, reduced hospital stay, better appearance, and reduced infection. 3 Although pain remains one of the most common complaints raised by patients in the postoperative period, physicians have successfully managed this issue by prescribing appropriate analgesia.
