Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To analyse the effect of preoperative intracutaneous and intraperitoneal instillation of levobupivacaine on postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy;Secondary Objective: - Rescue analgesia treatment. Rescue analgesia will be given when the pain score (VAS) rises above 40. - Adverse events caused by the investigational procedure or by levobupivacaine itself. - Length of the surgical procedure - Length of hospital stay - Time to resumption of work or other usual daily activities - Development of postoperative complications during hospitalisation including pneumonia, thrombosis, urinary tract infections, wound abscess and bile leakage. - Development of intraoperative complications including perforation of the gallbladder, bile duct injury, bowel injury and injury to vascular structures. ;Primary end point(s): The main endpoint is postoperative pain in VAS score (0-100). The VAS score is an international scoring system which scores pain from 0 to 100, in which 0 represents no pain and 100 is the worst pain imaginable. It usually consists of a 10-cm line, either vertical or horizontal, anchored at the ends by labels such as “no pain” and “worst possible pain.” Patients estimate the level of perceived pain by putting a mark on the line. The moments of recording in this study are based on resembling studies 30 min, 2h, 4h, 8h and 24h. At these points, the VAS scores of abdominal pain in rest, while coughing and in movement are scored by the patient at a VAS questionnaire. Beside the abdominal pain, the right shoulder pain will also be recorded.
