Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block versus port site infiltration for postoperative pain and quality of recovery in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: An assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial.

Background And Aim: Pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is common and results in poor quality of recovery. Our study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy of port site local infiltration, novel erector spinae plane (ESP) block, and standard regimen in patients undergoing LC and its impact on functional recovery.

Methods: After ethical approval and registering the trial, we randomly allocated 105 adult patients undergoing LC to three groups: Group I ( = 35), received multimodal analgesia; Group II ( = 35), received pre-incisional port site infiltration with 20 ml of 0.

Comparison of Postoperative Quality of Recovery and Pain Relief with Preoperative Single-Dose Dexamethasone and Lignocaine after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Aim: To compare the role of single intravenous (IV) bolus of lignocaine and dexamethasone on pain score and quality of recovery score (QoR40) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Setting And Design: The study was conducted at the postoperative recovery area, This was a double-blind randomized controlled study.

Materials And Methods: Seventy patients 18-60 years of age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Class I and II, who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were enrolled in this study after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee.
