Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries cause moderate/severe pain and thus can result in shallow breathing, atelectasis and increased opioid consumption in the early postoperative period which in turn cause a longer hospital stay. Erector spinae plane block has been shown to decrease lower thoracic pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries. This study aims to investigate the effect of erector spinae plane block on opioid consumption and diaphragma movement after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries.

Change of Diaphragma excursion
The change of diaphragma excursion as measured by ultrasound in M-mode from the preoperative period to the postoperative period
Time frame: Preoperative measurement-before the erector spina plane block application and postoperative measurement- 30 minutes after extubation
Change in Opioid consumption
To assess Tramadol consumption measured in mg postoperatively in the first 12 hours after the operation
Time frame: Postoperative 12 hours: in the first 30 minutes after extubation, 1st hour, 6th hour and 12th hour
Change in postoperative pain
Postoperative pain will be measured with visual analog scale and numeric scale in the first 12 hours after the operation
Time frame: Postoperative 12 hours: in the first 30 minutes after extubation, 1st hour, 6th hour and 12th hour
