title: Patient-controlled analgesia in gynecologic oncology surgery.
abstract: A prospective comparison of conventional analgesia and patient-controlled analgesia using morphine was conducted. Each patient underwent a major gynecologic oncology procedure and was observed on the post-operative floor. All 192 patients were studied during the first three post-operative days. The findings suggest less total medication and less sedation with equal pain control in the patient-controlled analgesia group.
