Overview

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations in abdominal surgery. Effective analgesia in the postoperative period; It is of great importance in terms of acceleration of recovery, prevention of atelectasis, reduction of endocrine and metabolic stress response, reduction of thromboembolic complications, protection of cognitive functions, prevention of chronic pain development, and reduction of hospital stay . Intravenous paracetamol, NSAID/cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, opioids, local anesthetic infiltration in the port area, intraperitoneal local anesthetic insufflation or plan blocks can be used in the treatment of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Operation, tissue trauma, anesthesia, drugs given to the patient, type of anesthesia, blood loss, temperature changes and pain cause postoperative stress response

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common operations in abdominal surgery. Abdominal and shoulder pain are frequently seen in patients in the postoperative period. Laparoscopic surgery is considered the gold standard in abdominal surgery because of its low cost, less postoperative pain, early mobilization, and short hospital stay. Effective analgesia in the postoperative period; It is of great importance in terms of acceleration of recovery, prevention of atelectasis, reduction of endocrine and metabolic stress response, reduction of thromboembolic complications, protection of cognitive functions, prevention of chronic pain development, and reduction of hospital stay . Intravenous paracetamol, NSAID/cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors, opioids, local anesthetic infiltration in the port area, intraperitoneal local anesthetic insufflation or plan blocks can be used in the treatment of postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations, the results of pain reduction and analgesic consumption in incisional local anesthetics are variable. Operation, tissue trauma, anesthesia, drugs given to the patient, type of anesthesia, blood loss, temperature changes and pain cause postoperative stress response . In various surgeries, regional anesthesia for post-operative purposes, plan blocks, infiltration or insufflation methods were found to suppress the stress response. In this study, the investigator aimed to compare the effects of local anesthetic infiltration at the wound site and erector spine plane block on stress hormone response and postoperative analgesia in patients who will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Interventions

wound site local anesthesic infiltrationPROCEDURE

: at the end of the operation; 0.5% bupivacaine (1mg/kg) was infiltrated into the fascia muscles and preperitoneal space in equal doses to the wound at the 4 trocar entry site.

Erector spina plane blockPROCEDURE

Erector spina block was applied to the group, after the end of the operation, the patients were placed in the left lateral decubitus position and the spinous process of the 8th thoracic vertebra was marked under sterile conditions. After visualizing the spinous process with ultrasound (EsoateMyLab™30 Gold, 8-18 MHz, Genova, Italy), the linear probe (8-12 MHz) was shifted 3 cm laterally from the midline in the cranial-caudal direction. Trapezius, erector spinae muscles, transverse process and pleura were visualized, and 20ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected into the validated interval by directing the peripheral nerve block needle in the cranio-caudal direction.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Stress hormone response

Blood was taken and recorded in a yellow capped gel biochemistry tube (SSTTM II Advance Tubes) for the measurement of stress hormone glucose(70-100 mg/dl), prolactin(4.79-23.3µg/dL), and cortisol(60.2-184 µg/dL) 1 hour before and 1 hour after the operation.

Time frame: 5 hour

Secondary Outcomes

Visual Analog Pain Scale

visual analog for pain consist of a horizontal line, usually 100 mm in length. the left end of the line signifies no pain which is depicted by a smiling face while the right end signifies the worst possible pain with a frowning face. this visual depiction of pain levels helps the patient to communicate about the intensity of their pain.

Time frame: 24 hour

Analgesia period

The time from the end of the operation to the first analgesic requirement was determined as the "analgesia period" and this time was recorded.
