Patients were randomized into two groups: Group Gabapentine ( G group) received 600 mg of Gabapentin (two tablets) two hours prior to surgery and saline solution before induction of spinal anesthesia and group Ketamine ( K group) received two placebo tablets and an injection of ketamine at a dosage of 0.15 mg/Kg before induction of spinal anesthesia.. During the surgery, blood pressure and heart rate were monitored. Postoperative analgesia was provided by a PCA morphine. Acute postoperative pain was assessed by a visual analog scale. The incidence of postoperative neuropathic pain was detected by the DN4 questionnaire after one and three months of surgery.
