ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) and Multimodal Analgesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Sponsor: Cukurova University
Summary
This clinical study aims to evaluate the effects of multimodal analgesia management administered within an ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocol on postoperative pain, length of hospital stay, early complications, and additional opioid requirements in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The key questions addressed are: * Does ERAS-based multimodal analgesia reduce postoperative pain? * Does it shorten the hospital stay and lower early complication rates? * What is its potential to reduce the need for additional opioids? Participants: * Prospective Group: Patients managed with an ERAS multimodal analgesia protocol (including paracetamol, NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), and local wound infiltration analgesics) between April and July 2025. * Retrospective Group: Patient records from 2024 who were treated with a routine analgesia protocol. Based on a power analysis, a minimum of 60 patients per group (total of 120 patients) will be included in the study (If the required sample size determined by the power analysis cannot be reached, the number of patients within the predefined time frame will be accepted as the sample).

Control group - 1
Patient data will be collected retrospectively from the records.
Observation group -2
In the literature, multimodal analgesia strategies-as recommended by ERAS guidelines and supported by recent studies-are implemented. In the intraoperative period, patients receive paracetamol, NSAIDs, and local surgical wound infiltration analgesia. In the postoperative period, oral paracetamol and NSAIDs are routinely continued, with opioids administered as needed.
