NCT06560892

Brief Summary

For patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is a customary procedure for treatment these days. After LC, patients may experience considerable pain. This study was performed with the objective of comparing the mean duration of analgesia of intraperitoneal bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine to intraperitoneal bupivacaine alone in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Duration of analgesia

    The duration of postoperative analgesia was calculated as the time in minutes starting after the dressing of the patient in the operation room until the patient had a VAS≥3.
