Postoperative Pain Difference for 'IV Paracetamol' and TAP Block' in Acute Cholecystitis
Summary
Patients with acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis due to gallstones benefit from emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients with emergency LC show improvement in their quality of life within one month compared to those treated. Delayed LC (after the acute phase has passed and recovered) and less time to work. This strategy reduces the risk of repeated admissions with more pain or pancreatitis. There are many studies on the effectiveness of the Elective LC and Transversus Abdominis Plan (TAP) Block on pain. However, a prospective study on the reduction of postoperative pain with emergency LC and TAP Block has not been carried out until now. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the TAP Block in patients undergoing emergency LC.
