Quality of postoperative analgesia provided effects were studied. Results: Group I [Suppository Group] was more efficient in postoperative analgesia of duration of 14.8 hours with a standard deviation of 1.1 while the control group showed a mean duration of 7 hrs. The mean dose of rescue analgesic was lower for group(I) in comparison to the group(II). Thereby substantiating qualitative analgesia provided by the diclofenac suppository.
