Summary

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, while less painful compared to conventional methods, is still a surgery that can cause significant pain for patients. Preventing postoperative pain is crucial for reducing respiratory complications, shortening hospital stays, and increasing patient satisfaction. Interfascial plane blocks have been widely used for postoperative analgesia in recent years worldwide. The External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block is one of the interfascial plane blocks used in abdominal surgeries. In our study, we aimed to compare the postoperative pain scores of patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, specifically between those who received the external oblique intercostal plane block and those who had trocar entry site infiltration.

Interventions

DEVICEultrasound guided external oblique intercostal plane block

ultrasound guided external oblique intercostal plane block

DRUGBupivacaine injection

5 ml local anesthetic for each trocar sides

DRUGparacetamol, tramadol, and ondansetron

As standard multimodal analgesia, 20 min before the end of the surgery patients will receive 1 g of paracetamol, 1-2 mg/kg of tramadol, and 4 mg of ondansetron via intravenous infusion. All patients will be recovered in the PACU, and after confirming an Aldrete score of \>9, a PCA (patient-controlled analgesia) device will be installed with morphine prepared at a dose appropriate for the patient's age. Patients will be administered paracetamol 1 gr IV every 8 hours in the postoperative period. When patients have a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score is ≥ 4, 1 mg/kg iv tramadol will be administered as a rescue analgesic
