Efficacy of laparoscopic guided transversus abdominis plane block in post operative analgesia requirement in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract

One of the most effective and efficient surgical procedure with statically minimal invasion for removal of diseased gallbladder is Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Starting from the early 1990s this procedure has successfully taken over the open technique for routine cholecystectomies. with various factors coming into play like sooner recovery, less hospitalisation time, lesser wound complications it (LC) has set a class standard for treatment of benign gallbladder diseases in contrast to open cholecystectomy. Nonetheless, in order to perform a safer dissection of Calot’s triangle outlined by the cystic duct, right liver lobe, and the common hepatic duct, it is imperative to have a clear view of the cystic duct and cystic artery so as to operate effectively on cholecystectomy. The most noted advantages of minimally invasive surgery are less post-operative pain and increased chances of improvement in physical activity. In order to achieve quick relief and minimum pain, post open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery, different local methods of anesthesia are resorted to. Till date, transverses abdominis plane (TAP) block technique, is recorded in most patients as the most effective and ABSTRACT
