Multimodal analgesic approaches have replaced the use of opioid monotherapy, but opioid use continues and contributes to inadequate acute pain management.

This study aims to describe post-operative pain management using intravenous lidocaine. \u0000Case presentation: There were two cases. The first was a 32-year-old female patient with suspected interrupted ectopic pregnancy who underwent emergency laparotomy under spinal anesthesia and, after 2 hours, was converted to general anesthesia. Postoperatively, the analgesic lidocaine was given as a 52 mg intravenous bolus followed by a continuous 36 mg/hour/syringe pump. The patient's VAS scale was initially 2/10, and on the third day, 1/10 continued treatment. In the second case, an 18-year-old male patient with suspected acute appendicitis underwent a midline incision laparotomy appendectomy with spinal anesthesia. Postoperatively, lidocaine was given a slow bolus of 75 mg intravenously, finished in 5 minutes, then 50 mg/hour/intravenously. The patient's VAS scale was initially 2-3/10 until on the third day.
