External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block vs. Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Analgesia
Registration Number
NCT05632991
Lead Sponsor
Ataturk University
Brief Summary

The laparoscopic approach has become the gold standard for many abdominal surgical procedures, including cholecystectomy. Compared to laparotomy, laparoscopy allows smaller incisions, reduces perioperative stress response, reduces postoperative pain, and results in shorter recovery time.

However, anaesthesia concerns in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery are different from patients undergoing open abdominal surgery.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the external oblique intercostal block, which is a new block, on postoperative pain score and opioid consumption.
