Intraperitoneal Ropivacaine Instillation for Postoperative Pain Relief after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Abstract: Purpose: A study was designed to assess the effect of intraperitoneal instillation of ropivacaine in larparoscopic cholecystectomy patients using computerized patient controlled anesthesia (PCA). Methods: From January 2009 to June 2009, 40 patients with uncomplicated, symptomatic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis who were referred to Chung-Ang University Medical Center for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. Patients in group C (control group) received normal saline 100 ml and those in gro… Show more

“…20 A large number of studies have examined the intraperitoneal administration of local anaesthetics in laparoscopic cholecystectomies with regard to postoperative pain and narcotic analgesic consumption with promising results. 10,[21][22][23] However, there are other studies also which show that the post-operative analgesia and narcotic usage was not significantly different in the groups that received local anaesthesia. [24][25][26] The timing of the administration of the local anaesthetic during surgery has also been debated.…”

“…Previous studies prove that though laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, certain degree of pain is still experienced by patients. Pain can be multifactorial arising from incision site (somatic pain), from surgical site (visceral pain), and due to pneumoperitoneum (referred pain) [12]. Out of the different regimens proposed for post-operative pain such as intravenous NSAIDS, opioids, and local infiltration, IP infiltration of local anesthetic has been chosen by many surgeons as an effective modality.…”
