Overview
Brief Summary
This study will define the postoperative analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral External Oblique İntercostal (EOI) Plane Block and compare the control group in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The aim of this study is to compare postoperative opioid consumption of EOI plane block versus control group. It is hypothesized that postoperative opioid use will be less in patients with EOI plane block than in patients who only receive routine multimodal analgesia.
Detailed Description
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, but postoperative pain is still the most common symptom after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Regional blocks used in addition to multimodal analgesia for postoperative pain after LC usually block the anterior branches of the intercostal nerves. After it was suggested by Hamilton et al. in 2018 that it could block the lateral cutaneous branches between T7-T11 intercostal nerve by administering local anesthetic to the thoracic facial plane and could be used in lateral abdominal surgeries, the EOI plane block has become a block that can be used for analgesic purposes in upper and lateral abdominal surgeries. Blocking the anterior and lateral branches together may produce analgesia in a wider area, resulting in less postoperative opioid consumption. This study will be conducted as a single-center, prospective, randomized trial in a university hospital. Patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be screened for enrollment in the study. After randomization, EOI Plane Block will be performed under ultrasound guidance after administering general anesthesia and prior to the skin incision. An anesthesiologist who performed blocks will not involve in the data collection. Other health care workers who will involve in the evaluation of postoperative opioid consumption,pain scores, nausea and vomiting, antiemetic use, and Quality of Recovery score will be blinded to group assignment.
