COMPARING THE POST-OPERATIVE ANALGESIA USING ROPIVACAINE IN LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY BY THREE DIFFERENT METHODS-A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for cholecystectomy. In present time local anesthesia is widely used as analgesic by various routes including port site intraincisional inlteration, transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block and intraperitoneal instillation. Aim: Comparing The Post-Operative Analgesia Using Ropivacaine in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy by three Different Methods ; Intraperitoneal instillation, USG-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and Incisional inltration at port site. Materials and methods: This study was conducted among elective general surgical patient undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in S.N. Medical College, Agra and completed in the study period of 18 months. Study population was elective surgical patients posted for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were divided in to 3 groups: Group A- Intraperitoneal instillation, Groups B- ultrasound guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block and Groups C- intraincisional inlteration at port site. Results: Intraincisional inltration of ropivacaine provide signicant Postoperative pain relief in comparative to USG -guided subcostal TAP block and intraperitoneal instillation with ropivacaine. Conclusion: Intraincisional inltration of ropivacaine provide signicant Postoperative pain relief and decrease post operative analgesia requirement in comparative to USG -guided subcostal TAP block and intraperitoneal instillation with ropivacaine. Shoulder tip pain incidence, postoperative nausea and vomiting incidence lower in intraincisional inltration of ropivacaine.
