Evaluation of Intraperitoneal and Port Site Infiltration of Bupivacaine in Combination with Fentanyl for Management of Postoperative Pain following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Double Blind Randomized Study

 Evaluation of Intraperitoneal and Port Site Infiltration of Bupivacaine in Combination with Fentanyl for Management of Postoperative Pain following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Double Blind Randomized Study

Despite the reported advantages of laparoscopic cholecystectomy management of postoperative pain following this surgery still remains a significant clinical challenge. Our study was designed to evaluate efficacy of bupivacaine in combination with fentanyl for intraperitoneal instillation and port site infiltration, for management of postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
