Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Medical and Surgical,

Registration Number: CTRI/2021/07/034726

Lead Sponsor: Vinayaka Missions Medical College

Brief Summary: Comparison of post operative analgesia following intraperitoneal instillation of Ropivacaine with and without dexamethasone is being studied in the context of laparoscopic surgeries. The study aims to find out the extra benefit of adding dexamethasone to the local anesthetic. Intrapereitoneal instillation through the port site does not require any extra intrvention or extra monitoring. A visual analogue scale will be used to assess the analgesic efficacy and rescue analgesia will be given if VAS score is more than 4. Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries will be recruited in a double bling randomised control trial. Out come parameters will be duration of analgesia, time to rescue analgesia and total analgesic requirement
