Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erector spinal block (ESB) for analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Method: This study is a randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial. Pre-operative ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block will be performed in the ESPB group. Vertebral side block will be performed in the VSB group. And the control group will receive local anaesthesia after the surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative analgesia effect and side effects will be compared between the three groups.

After induction of general anesthesia, pre-operative ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block/ vertebral side block will be performed in the ESPB/VSB group. Local block will be performed at the surgical incisions after the surgery under general anesthesia. All the intervention will be performed without patients' awareness.
