Brief Summary

Abdominal wall blocks are frequently used as part of multimodal analgesia for pain control after abdominal surgery. There are studies using the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for postoperative pain control in laparoscopic cholecystectomies.

In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the advantages of these two methods by applying the Transversus Abdominis Plan Block for postoperative pain control after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the help of postoperative USG and laparoscopy during surgery.In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the advantages of these two methods by applying the Transversus Abdominis Plan Block for postoperative pain control after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the help of postoperative USG and LAPAROSCOPY during surgery.

Detailed Description

A total of 60 patients aged 18-65, ASA 1-2-3, who will undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital, will be included in the study. Patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups with ultrasound (USG) guided (GROUP 1: USG) , Laparoscopic application (GROUP 2: LAP) and GROUP 3 :No-TAP blok Each group consists of 20 evil people. Written consent will be obtained by explaining the procedure to be performed before the operation to the patients. The Transversus Abdominis Plan Block will be applied to the patients by a blind anesthesiologist according to their group. The block to be made by the anesthesiologist who will apply the block procedure will be given in a closed envelope.
