The PCA group consisted of patients who received 72-h epidural PCA for postoperative pain control, while the control group received standard postoperative pain management. All patients were allowed to request intramuscular rescue analgesics for additional pain control. The primary endpoint was defined as the mean visual analogue scale (VAS) score during the effective PCA period (postoperative day [POD] 1\u20133). Secondary endpoints included individual daily VAS scores, rebound pain, rescue analgesic injections, morphine consumption, drainage duration, drainage volume, length of hospital stay, and complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 209 patients (mean age 73.8\u00a0years) were included, with 88 patients in the PCA group and 121 in the control group.
