Comparative Clinical Evaluation of Early Post Operative Pain with and Without Port Site Local Anaesthetic Infiltration during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Background. To compare early post operative pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) with or without port site infiltration of local anaesthetic(LA). Methods. A total of 100 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided in two groups. In group I, patients were subjected to port site infiltration of ropivacaine and in group II, patients were not subjected to any drug. Post operative pain was assessed using visual analogue scale(VAS) and a comparison was made between two groups for various parameters. Results. The consumption of analgesics (both NSAIDS and opioids) were significantly less in patients who received pre incisional port site infiltration of local anaesthetic. Conclusion. Pre incisional port site infiltration of ropivacaine is safe, effective and affordable method for pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
