Background: The study was designed to compare the effect of intraincisional vs intraperitoneal infiltration of levobupivacaine 0.25% on post-operative pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Materials And Methods: This randomised controlled study was carried out on 189 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Group 1 was the control group and did not receive either intraperitoneal or intraincisional levobupivacaine. Group 2 was assigned to receive local infiltration (intraincisional) of 20 ml solution of levobupivacaine 0.25%, while Group 3 received 20 ml solution of levobupivacaine 0.25% intraperitoneally. Post-operative pain was recorded for 24 hours post-operatively.
Results: Post-operative abdominal pain was significantly lower with intraincisional infiltration of levobupivacaine 0.25% in group 2. This difference was reported from 30 minutes till 24 hours post-operatively. Right shoulder pain showed significantly lower incidence in group 2 and group 3 compared to control group. Although statistically insignificant, shoulder pain was less in group 3 than group 2.
Conclusion: Intraincisional infiltration of levobupivacaine is more effective than intraperitoneal route in controlling post-operative abdominal pain. It decreases the need for rescue analgesia.

QX-OH/Levobupivacaine: A Structurally Novel, Potent Local Anesthetic Produces Fast-Onset and Long-Lasting Regional Anesthesia in Rats.

Purpose: Local anesthetics (LAs) are an important alternative for postoperative analgesia; however, the short duration of LAs limits their use. Thus, we previously developed LL-1, a mixture of QX-OH and levobupivacaine (LB) that produces regional anesthesia for more than 10 h in rats. The aim of this study is to investigate the long-acting mechanism of LL-1 in vivo and in vitro.
