Impact of Opioid-Free Anesthesia Combined With Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocol on Postoperative Recovery Quality in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Total Hysterectomy.
Article in The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimOpioid-based anesthesia in laparoscopic hysterectomy is associated with adverse effects (e.g., postoperative nausea and vomiting [PONV], ileus, cognitive impairment) that impede recovery. This study evaluates whether opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) combined with an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol improves postoperative recovery quality.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 255 patients who underwent laparoscopic total hysterectomy between February 2023 and April 2025. Patients were allocated to TOA (124 patients received traditional opioid-based anesthesia) and OFA + ERAS (131 patients received OFA combined with ERAS) groups. Outcomes included recovery times, hemodynamic stability, pain scores (Visual Analog Scale [VAS]), cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE]), adverse events, sleep quality, and quality of life (QOR-15, Activities of Daily Living [ADL]). Multivariate analyses were performed to adjust for potential confounders.
resultsThe OFA + ERAS group demonstrated significantly shorter time to awakening (p < 0.001), extubation (p < 0.001), first flatus (p < 0.001), and hospital stay (p < 0.001). Postoperative pain scores were consistently lower in the OFA + ERAS group at all time points (all p < 0.001), with a 72% reduction in the odds of tramadol use (OR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.14-0.56, p < 0.001). The incidence of PONV (OR = 0.35, p = 0.002) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (OR = 0.31, p = 0.008) was significantly reduced. The OFA + ERAS group also showed better hemodynamic stability during surgery and improved MMSE, sleep quality, QOR-15, and ADL scores at 48 h postoperatively (all p < 0.001).
conclusionOFA combined with ERAS enhances postoperative recovery in laparoscopic total hysterectomy by reducing pain, opioid-related complications, and hospital stay while improving cognitive and functional outcomes.
