Retrolaminar Block Versus Intraperitoneal Block for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgery, it causes moderate-severe pain. The aim of this study is to assess the quality of pain relief in patients who will undergo in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery receiving either retrolaminar block or peritoneal block by comparing and evaluating the differences between the two techniques. It is hypothesized that retrolaminar block will be comparable to peritoneal block as a promising effective alternative for analgesia for in laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries with fewer side effects.
