Assessment

Primary outcomes

The proportion of patients with a resting NRS score of 4 or higher at 24 hours after surgery

Key secondary outcomes

1.Pain-related outcomes
Area under the NRS-time curve during the first 72 hours (AUC72)
Time course of NRS scores at rest and during coughing
Number of rescue analgesic doses through POD3
Patient satisfaction assessed using a 7-point Likert scale (1-7)

2.Operative and anesthetic variables
Operative time and anesthetic time

3.Postoperative recovery outcomes
Time to first flatus and defecation
Time to ambulation
Time to urinary catheter removal
Length of postoperative hospital stay

4.Safety outcomes
Incidence and severity of analgesia-related adverse events
Incidence and severity of postoperative surgical complications (Clavien-Dindo classification)
Laboratory abnormalities, including hepatotoxicity, graded by CTCAE v4.0

5.Exploratory (post hoc) analyses
Proportion of patients with an NRS score >=4 at rest (48 and 72 hours) and during coughing (24, 48, and 72 hours)
(These exploratory analyses were added after study completion to ensure transparency and did not alter the study conduct or interpretation.)
