ESP vs Subcostal TAP Block for Analgesia After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Sponsor: Gaziantep City Hospital
Summary
This prospective, randomized, double-blind study compares the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block and subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The primary outcome is 24-hour postoperative opioid consumption. Secondary outcomes include postoperative pain scores, time to first analgesic request, shoulder pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and block-related complications.

Interventions
Erector Spinae Plane Block
Ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block will be performed after induction of general anesthesia. The block will be administered at the appropriate thoracic vertebral level using a standardized volume and concentration of local anesthetic deposited in the fascial plane deep to the erector spinae muscle. The procedure will be performed by experienced anesthesiologists under sterile conditions.
Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
Ultrasound-guided bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane block will be performed after induction of general anesthesia. A standardized volume and concentration of local anesthetic will be injected into the fascial plane between the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis muscles along the subcostal margin. The procedure will be performed by experienced anesthesiologists under sterile conditions.
