Dexamethasone Added to Levobupivacaine in Ultrasound-guided Tranversus Abdominis Plain Block Increased the Duration of Postoperative Analgesia After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
In the ultrasound-guided TAP-Block with Dexamethasone group, dexamethasone is added to Levobupivacaine in Ultrasound-guided Tranversus Abdominis Plain Block after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. In the ultrasound-guided TAP-Block with saline group, saline is added to Levobupivacaine in Ultrasound-guided Tranversus Abdominis Plain Block , after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. In the ultrasound-guided TAP-Block with intravenously dexamethasone group, dexamethasone is intravenously injected , after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. After surgery the extension of postoperative analgesia, incident and rest pain were evaluate in each group.

Extension of analgesia, assessed in minutes after TAP block
After surgery, the extension of analgesia is evaluated in minutes after TAP Block, in the first 24 hours, from operating theatre discharge.
Time frame: 24 hours after surgery
Rest pain, assessed with Visual Analog Scale
Rest pain was assessed using Visual Analog Scale (10 steps scale, from 0 as no pain to 10 as the worst imaginable pain).
Time frame: 24 hours after surgery
Incident pain, assessed with Visual Analog Scale
Incident pain was assessed using Visual Analog Scale (10 steps scale, from 0 as no pain to 10 as the worst imaginable pain).
Time frame: 24 hours after surgery
