Conditions

Primary intention of our study is to evaluate how ESP block influences postoperative pain scores after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The secondary goal is to assess ESP block effect on opioid consum Erector spinae plane block

Interventions

A US probe are placed longitudinally at the level of the Th7 spinal process&#44
than moved 3 cm laterally from the midline. The ultrasound landmarks&#44
Th7 transverse process&#44
and overlying erector spinae muscle are identified. After the making of aseptic field 100&#45
mm&#44
20G Stimuplex block needle was guided in&#45
plane cranial&#45
to&#45
caudal until the tip contacted the Th7 transverse process. After using of hydro&#45
dissection with 4ml of isotonic saline to confirm the right needle position 20ml of 0.25% levobupivacaine plus 2mg of dexamethasone will be administered below the erector spinae muscle.,At the end o
patients from both groups received acetaminophen 1g iv and ketorolac 30mg. Patients from control group received at the end of operation as part of our hospital multimodal analgesia protocol tramadol
