NCT03719157

Brief Summary

Main purpose of this prospective single center randomized study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided Unilateral Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP),unilateral Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) blocks and Port site infiltration of local anesthetic in subjects undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Total 100 patients, American society of anaesthesiology physical status I-II aged between 18-65 who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy will recruit to the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Postoperative opioid consumption

    Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) will provide with tramadol PCA. Total tramadol consumption will calculate and record till the postoperative 24th hours.

    24 hours

  • Postoperative pain scores: NRS

    Postoperative pain assessment will apply with numerical rating scale. These scores will record till the postoperative 24 th hours.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • postoperative nause and vomiting

    24 hours

Study Arms (4)

Unilateral ESP Block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Before general anaesthesia, Ultrasound guided unilateral ESP block will perform with 15 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 ml 2% lidocaine.Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with tramadol will apply to the all patients. Postoperative pain assessment and opioid consumption will record till the postoperative 24 th hours.

Procedure: Unilateral ESP BlockDrug: intravenous patient controlled analgesia

Unilateral OSTAP block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Under general anaesthesia, Ultrasound guided unilateral OSTAP block will perform with 15 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 ml 2% lidocaine.Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with tramadol will apply to the all patients. Postoperative pain assessment and opioid consumption will record till the postoperative 24 th hours.

Procedure: Unilateral OSTAP BlockDrug: intravenous patient controlled analgesia

Injection of Local Anesthetic to Trocar Insertion

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After the laparoscopic surgery was completed, the trocar incision sites were closed. Following the infiltration rules, local anesthetic (15 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine and 5 ml 2% lidocaine) was applied to the trocar sites of skin, fascia, muscle, and preperitoneal area by the surgical team after the operation. A total of 20 mL of local anesthetic was used, with 6 mL for trocar sites of 10 mm, and 4 mL for trocar sites of 5 mm .Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with tramadol will apply to the all patients. Postoperative pain assessment and opioid consumption will record till the postoperative 24 th hours.

Procedure: Injection of Local Anesthetic to Trocar InsertionDrug: intravenous patient controlled analgesia

multimodal analgesia

SHAM COMPARATOR

Perioperative and postoperative routine analgesic protocol will be performed with no additional regional anesthesia method.Patient controlled analgesia (PCA) with tramadol will apply to the all patients. Postoperative pain assessment and opioid consumption will record till the postoperative 24 th hours.

Drug: intravenous patient controlled analgesia

Interventions

USG guided ESP block will perform unilateral with Bupivacaine and Lidocain mixture

Unilateral ESP Block

USG guided OSTAP block will perform unilateral with Bupivacaine and Lidocain mixture

Unilateral OSTAP block

Bupivacaine infiltration will be performed at the end of the surgical procedure to trocar insertion sites.

Injection of Local Anesthetic to Trocar Insertion

All patients were followed using a standardized postoperative analgesia protocol which includes tramadol PCA. Tramadol at a concentration of 5 mg/mL is included in our PCA protocol (total volume 100 mL.) PCAs were set to no basal infusion and 10 mg bolus doses with a 20 min lock time.
