The primary indication for superior hypogastric plexus (SHP) block is visceral pelvic pain, most commonly from malignancy of the ovary, uterus, cervix, bladder, rectum or prostate. Per-cutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. During minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, percutaneous technique can be done under the guidance of cameras.
Laparoscopic surgeries have many advantages over open surgeries. Laparoscopic procedures are mostly preferred for surgical treatment of gynecologic diseases, because of best cosmetically results, less perioperative complications, early recovery, and less postoperative pain.
There are many undesirable effects of systemic reactions to the pain. Accordingly, multi-modal analgesic approach (including nerve blocks) for postoperative acute pain can decrease the side effects of the drugs (especially opioids) significantly.

Per-cutaneous SHP blocks should be done under guidance of ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance or computed tomography. During minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, per-cutaneous technique can be done under the guidance of cameras.
SHP block has been performed by anesthetists or surgeons in Kocaeli Derince Training and Research Hospital regularly since they have discovered the advantages of this block technique. SHP can be useful to decrease postoperative pain scores and opioid or NSAID consumption significantly.

The participants with a superior hypogastric block
Procedure: Procedure/Surgery: superior hypogastric block
The participants without a superior hypogastric block; the patients with an epidural catheter, who receive a different block technique (ie: TAP block), or who are unsuitable for SHP block (ie: if retroperitone is opened intraoperatively by the surgeon)
superior hypogastric blockade during surgery
postoperative pain scores (PACU)
Patients' pain scores will be scored with a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Each will be scored between 0-10 (0: no pain; 10: worst pain ever)
Time frame: 1 hour (postoperatively)
postoperative opioid/NSAID consumption (PACU)
nonsteroid antiinflammatory drugs (NSAID) or opioid drugs that are applied to patients will be noted down.
Time frame: 1 hour (postoperatively)
rescue analgesic time
Time to first analgesic demand at gynecology ward (after transfer from PACU to gynecology ward)
Time frame: 48 hours (first analgesic demand time will be noted down)
postoperative pain scores (ward)
Patients' pain scores will be scored with a 10 cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Each will be scored between 0-10 (0: no pain; 10: worst pain ever)
Time frame: 48 hours (postoperatively)
postoperative opioid/NSAID consumption (ward)
NSAID or opioid drugs that are applied to patients will be noted down. Target VAS score for NSAID is \>4; if there is no response to NSAID and pain is worsening opioid drugs will be applied
Time frame: 48 hours (total)
Intraoperative hemodynamics
(If the patient is received a SHP block intraoperatively) post-block hemodynamical parametres will be noted down
Time frame: from SHP block to the end of the surgery (approximately 15 min)
length of stay
length of hospital stay time will be noted
Time frame: 3-5 days (expected)
complications due to SHP block
intra/postoperative complications will be noted. (ie: intra-vascular local anesthetic injection, vascular puncture, hemodynamical changes after injection,.. )
Time frame: 3-5 days (from surgery to discharge from the hospital)
Plan to share: No — The investigators do not prefer to share the study plan and records.
Started Mar 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2018, 3 months after the start.
Of 391 non-industry observational studies under Pain, Postoperative, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32. This study's planned 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 395 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 33.
