Efficacy of locoregional analgesic techniques after laparotomy for gynecologic cancer: a systematic review.

Objective: To determine which locoregional techniques are effective in managing post-operative pain in major open oncologic gynecologic surgery in terms of pain scores and opioid consumption when epidural analgesia is not a feasible option.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature, based on the Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, was conducted. The ROB-2 assessment was used to assess bias.
