Brief summary

Objective: To analyze the effect of laparoscopically administered Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block on pain scores and opioid consumption in first 24 hours in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hypothesis: TAP block is better in preventing post operative opioid consumption Materials & Methods: A TAP group A received laparoscopic-assisted Transversus Abdominis Plane TAP block with 20 ml 0.5 % Ropivacaine in subcostal region while the Control group B received 20 ml saline solution. Postoperative pain scores at rest and on coughing were recorded using numerical rating scores at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hrs. The primary aim of this study was to compare the Nalbuphine consumption during first 24 h, pain scores at 2, 4, 6,12, 24 hours post surgery

Interventions

transverses abdominus plane block with 20ml of 0.5% Ropivacain (subcostal) intramuscular surgeon before closure as per the per operative difficulty level half hour to upto one and half hour
