Patients undergoing urological surgery may experience a decrease in sleep quality due to many factors such as hospitalization, different environment, pain, stress and anesthesia. After surgery, melatonin secretion decreases and circadian rhythm becomes irregular in patients. This problem can lead to sleep disorders in patients. Melatonin is an important hormone that regulates both sleep and circadian rhythms. The aim of this study is to observe the effect of a melatonin skin patch designed to produce melatonin in a way that ensures a stable increase in melatonin levels in the blood, on patients undergoing urological surgery.
