The present study contrasted the pharmaco-economics and analgesic efficacy of intramuscular (i.m.) opioid treatment with a parenteral disposable patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) system in two groups of 20 female patients (ASA I–II, aged 35–69 years) scheduled for abdominal hysterectomy. The PCA group received a continuous infusion of 1.5 mg h−1 piritramide, a μ-opioid
