Total abdominal hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in women and is known to cause significant pain in especially early postoperative period. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare analgesic efficiacy of TAP block, which is well established by studies in hysterectomy surgeries, and TFP block, a relatively new block with good analgesic effect when used for lower abdominal surgeries, in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy surgery.The main parameters to compare the analgesic efficiacy of TAP and TFP blocks are; 1. Pain scores in motion 2. Opioid consumption Researchers will apply the lateral TAP block and TFP block, prepare the postoperative analgesic treatment regimen and record the patients' analgesic consumption, make ward visits and ask patients about their pain intensity and check for opioid consumption and associated side effects, block-related complications, mobilization, length of hospital stay, and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing elective total abdominal hysterectomy surgery. Participants will score the pain they feel in motion with certain pain scales.Participants will also respond to the researchers' questions for other parameters in study.
