Prophylactic TAP Block in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Sponsor: Hospital General de Chihuahua - Dr. Salvador Zubirán Anchondo
Summary
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for cholelithiasis, yet postoperative pain remains a clinical challenge. Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block has been proposed as an effective analgesic strategy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic bilateral TAP block in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
