heal.abstractAfter laparoscopic cholecystectomy, CO2 remains within the peritoneal cavity, commonly causing pain. This prospective randomized study was performed to determine the efficacy of intraperitoneal normal saline and bupivacaine infusion on postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Three hundred patients were randomly assigned to one of six groups of 50 patients each. Group A patients served as controls. In group B patients, normal saline was infused under the right hemidiaphragm and suctioned after the pneumoperitoneum was deflated. After suction, a subhepatic closed drain was left for 24 h. In group C patients, bupivacaine 1.5 mg/kg in solution 2.5 mg/ml, minus 15 ml of this solution, which was infiltrated in the trocar wounds, was infused under the right hemidiaphragm at the end of the cholecystectomy. In group D patients, bupivacaine was given as in group C, but a subhepatic drain was left for 24 h. In group E patients, normal saline was used as in group B plus bupivacaine as in group C. Group F patients were treated as in group E, but a subhepatic drain was left for 24 h. In all groups, 15 ml of a 2.5 mg/ml bupivacaine solution was infiltrated in the trocar wounds. Postoperatively, analgesic medication usage, nausea, vomiting, and pain scores were recorded at 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 h. Postoperative pain was reduced significantly in the patients of the treatment groups vs. the controls. Between treatment groups, patients in groups B, E, and F had the best results, while those in groups C and D had significantly greater pain than those in groups B, E, and F. It is concluded that postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be significantly reduced by intraperitoneal normal saline infusion subdiaphragmatically and after its postdeflation suction, bupivacaine infusion in the same area, or without bupivacaine in case a subhepatic drainage has been needed.en
