Randomized Controlled Trial
Postoperative pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a placebo-controlled double-blind randomized trial of preincisional infiltration and intraperitoneal instillation of levobupivacaine 0.25%.
The aim of this study was to test the use of preincisional and intraperitoneal levobupivacaine (L-B) 0.25% in laparoscopic cholecystectomies for postoperative analgesia. ⋯ The combination of preincisional local infiltration and intraperitoneal instillation of L-B 0.25% shows an advantage for postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
