Actual (reported)Shoulder pain is frequently mentioned in recent literature following laparoscopic operations. Several pain relief strategies have been proposed to decrease shoulder tip pain post laparoscopic surgeries. This study will be conducted to compare the Superficial cervical nerve block vs. NSAIDs in terms of shoulder tip pain relief after laparoscopic surgeries.

Patients will receive superficial cervical nerve block in which we inject 5 ml of local anaesthetic mixture. Each 17 ml of the mixture contain: 6 ml lidocaine 2%, 6 ml lidocaine 2% with adrenaline 5 µg/ml, and 5 ml bupivacaine 0.5. Patients will also receive 100 ml IV saline.
Patients will receive 100 mg (100 ml) IV NSAIDs (Profenid) before induction of anesthesia. Superficial cervical nerve block containing 5 ml placebo will be performed.
A nerve stimulator is used to guide superficial cervical blockade to relieve shoulder pain.
100 mg (100 ml) intravenous NSAIDs (Profenid)

General anesthesia is induced with 1 μg/kg fentanyl, 1.5-2 mg/kg propofol and 1-2 mg midazolam. Then, endotracheal intubation is facilitated by 0.15 mg/kg nimbex. Anesthesia is maintained by 1-1.5% sevoflurane, 0.5 μg/kg/h fentanyl, 0.05 mg/kg/h nimbex, 60% nitrous oxide and 40% oxygen
100 ml IV saline
Superficial cervical nerve block containing 5 ml saline
