Background : Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has advantages over the open procedure for postoperative pain .
However , a systematic review of postoperative pain management in this procedure has not been conducted .
Intercostal blockade and pulmonary function after cholecystectomy.
Sixty-six patients undergoing cholecystectomy were r and omly allocated to receive either intercostal blockade with bupivacaine supplemented with papaveretum or papaveretum alone for postoperative analgesia . Both groups were similar regarding distribution of sex , age , and weight . These two groups were compared . Patients who did not have intercostal blockade required postoperative analgesia sooner . There was no significant difference , however , in the total consumption of papaveretum . Both groups experienced similar degrees of pain , and there were no differences in postoperative pulmonary function . We conclude that although single intercostal blockade is an effective analgesic , it does not improve pain relief and does not improve pulmonary function after cholecystectomy when compared with a regimen of on-dem and , intramuscularly administered papaveretum
