AbstractSurgical treatment used in gynecological oncology involves acute postoperative pain which requires efficient treatment. This study covered a group of 128 patients who were randomly divided into two groups. In the postoperative period patients in group I were administered morphine subcutaneously, acetaminophen intravenously and naproxen per rectum. The pain intensity level was checked by means of the pain intensity numeric rating scale (NRS). In the instances of pain rated at 5 or more, patients were additionally administered ketoprofen intravenously. Patients in group II were administered morphine, naproxen, and metamizole instead of acetaminophen and ketoprofen additionally. In group I after the administration of morphine and acetaminophen 22 patients (34.37%) needed additional doses of ketoprofen. In group II 33 women (51.56%) required ketoprofen after the administration of morphine and metamizole (N1 = 22 vs N2 = 33, p < 0.05). The use of metamizol with morphine (without ketoprofen) gave worse analgesic results than acetaminophen with morphine, but the combination of morphine, acetaminophen and ketoprofen or morphine, metamizol and ketoprofen gave satisfactory analgesic results.
