Traditional opioid-based strategies, including patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), remain effective but are associated with well-recognized adverse effects such as nausea, pruritus, sedation, and delayed mobilization. To reduce opioid exposure and enhance recovery, multimodal analgesia has become a central component of enhanced recovery after cesarean
