Brief Summary

Injection of intraperitoneal bupivacaine revealed an analgesic effect whether injected alone or in combination with other adjuvants, which increase duration of analgesia and decrease the dose of administered bupivacaine thus minimizing its side effects e.g. Opioids, Corticosteroids and Magnesium sulphate. Neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor that produces muscarinic receptor-mediated analgesia, increased postoperative analgesia when combined with local anaesthetics. Peripheral afferent nerve fibres contain muscarinic receptors, these could be a good target for pain suppression.

Study Arms (2)

B group

EXPERIMENTAL

-Group 1 (Bupivacaine group= B group) will receive a 50 mL solution of bupivacaine 0.25% intraperitoneal instilled solution.

Drug: Bupivacaine Hydrochloride

BN group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group 2 (Bupivacaine neostigmine group=BN group) will receive 500 μg neostigmine mixed with bupivacaine 0.25% with a total volume of 50 mL intraperitoneal instilled solution.

Drug: Bupivacaine HydrochlorideDrug: Neostigmine

Interventions

after induction of general anesthesia and before the start of surgery, after inflating the pneumoperitoneum and before any surgical manipulation, the surgeon infuse 50 mL of blinded solution (bupivacaine or bupivacaine neostigmine) intraperitoneally to the sub-diaphragmatic space and gall bladder area guided by the camera and the patients are kept in Trendelenburg position for 5-10 minutes. Thereafter all patients will be positioned in the anti-Trendelenburg position to start the surgery and the laparoscopic procedure will be carried out in a standard fashion.

Masking Details
Patients will be randomly allocated to one of two groups with the help of computer generated random number tables in opaque sealed envelopes prepared by an anaesthesiologist not part of the study. The envelops will be opened by the staff nurse, and peritoneal solution will be prepared according to group allocation by anaesthesiologist who is not involved in the study.
