Reduction of postoperative pain after infiltration of local anesthetic at the port site and subdiaphragmatic space in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A cross-sectional study

Introduction: Port site and subdiaphragmatic infiltration of local anesthetics during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is preferred by surgeons to decrease postoperative pain. LC with as well without any anesthetic both have been standard surgical practice. However, the difference in reduction pain these two groups not known. The objective study was compare at port space LC.
 
 Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional conducted from 25 April 2021 October among 60 patients who underwent elective LC. were divided into equal groups. group received 20 ml bupivacaine (0.5%) space, while control did receive anesthetic. primary outcome measure visual analog score 6, 12, 24 48hrs postoperatively.
 Results: Among patients, majority female- 40(66.7%); 40-50 years age group. comparable terms age, sex, ASA, BMI duration pneumoperitoneum surgery. Infiltration a agent produced effective analgesia immediate hours (6, 12 hours) found be statistically significant when compared no-local anesthesia group.
 Conclusion: intraoperative reducing first adverse events.
