Overview
Brief Summary
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common upper abdominal surgeries. Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a hindering factor for early discharge of the patients. Use of opioids leads to unwanted side effects .External oblique intercostal plane block is a novel technique covering the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves. This study is aimed to compare the post operative analgesic efficacy of two different plane blocks- subcostal transverse abdominis block and external oblique intercostal plane block. This block if successful will help in early discharge of the patients and will reduce the use of opioids.
