EOIB for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Summary
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, while less painful compared to conventional methods, is still a surgery that can cause significant pain for patients. Preventing postoperative pain is crucial for reducing respiratory complications, shortening hospital stays, and increasing patient satisfaction. Interfascial plane blocks have been widely used for postoperative analgesia in recent years worldwide. The External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block is one of the interfascial plane blocks used in abdominal surgeries. In our study, we aimed to compare the postoperative pain scores of patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, specifically between those who received the external oblique intercostal plane block and those who had trocar entry site infiltration.
