Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for removal of a diseased gall bladder. This technique essentially has replaced the open technique for routine cholecystectomies since the early 1990s. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for cholecystectomy in the past decade. Most patients are being discharged on the first or second post-operative day. The aim of the study was to evaluate effect of instillation of intra-peritoneal bupivacaine for pain relief in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The primary outcome is to evaluate pain scores after this procedure.
Methods: It’s an institutional based, observational and randomised control study was conducted in a patients undergoing laparocopic cholecystectomy with gall bladder disease in KPCMCH between 18-70 years of age. The study period was 12 months (from June 2021 to May 2022). 100 patients were included in this study.
Results: Our study showed that, less number of patients had right shoulder tip pain (in Numerical rating scale) and requirement of rescue analgesia in case compared to control group.
Conclusions: We concluded that instillation of intra-peritoneal bupivacaine reduces pain scores after difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
