Timing of Subcostal TAPB Combined With Rectus Sheath Block for Postoperative Pain After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Sponsor: Eulji University Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether the timing of ultrasound-guided subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block combined with rectus sheath block (RSB) affects postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the combined regional blocks either before surgical incision or after completion of surgery. The primary outcome is postoperative pain intensity measured using a numerical rating scale. Secondary outcomes include opioid consumption, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and other recovery parameters. The results of this study may help optimize the timing of abdominal wall blocks to improve postoperative analgesia and recovery following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
