Anesthesia was maintained with propofol plus saline (Groups A/B) or remifentanil (Group C). Primary outcomes included Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Secondary outcomes were intubation reaction, vital signs, extubation/PACU times, Ramsey Sedation Scores (RSS) in PACU, NRS pain scores and adverse events within 48 hours postoperatively.Results: Intubation reactions were rare (one case each in Groups B/C, none in Group A). Group B had significantly lower PACU NRS scores than Group C (0.6 ± 0.7 vs 1.3 ± 1.4, P = 0.011), while Group A showed a nonsignificant trend (0.8 ± 0.9 vs 1.3 ± 1.4, P = 0.051). RSS scores, extubation/PACU times, and 48-hour NRS scores were comparable. However, oxycodone groups had longer postoperative evacuation times than fentanyl group (Group A vs Group C: 20.0 ± 7.3 hours vs 16.5 ± 5.1 hours, P=0.038; Group B vs Group C: 20.3 ± 8.2 hours vs 16.5 ± 5.1 hours, P=0.034).Conclusion: Oxycodone alone provides superior early postoperative analgesia compared to fentanyl-remifentanil in laparoscopic myoma surgery but may delay bowel recovery.Keywords: oxycodone, laparoscopic surgery, myomas, fentanyl, postoperative pain
