- Detailed Description
INTRODUCTION: Gallstone disease is most frequent gastrointestinal problems. Gallbladder stone formation can cause discomfort in the upper abdomen. The gallbladder is surgically removed by keyhole surgery, a process known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, to address this problem. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program applies evidence based perioperative interventions that, collectively, reduce morbidity and length of hospital stay METHODOLOGY: A study will be conducted involving patients of all genders between the ages of 20 and 60 years who will undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for uncomplicated symptomatic gallstone disease.

All patients were demonstrated about use of the VAS score. Duration of analgesia was recorded and additional requirement for analgesia was noted. Post-operative side effects i.e. nausea, vomiting, sedation and shivering were noted. Post-operative hospital stay was also noted. All data were noted and analyzed in to SPSS v25.0. Independent t-test was applied for the comparison of mean post-operative duration of analgesia and mean post-operative pain score between two groups taking p-value ≤0.05 as significant.
