Postoperative Pain Will be Compared in Cholecystectomy Patients: Half Receiving TAP Block and Half Without it.

This study compares the effectiveness of a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block in reducing post-operative pain for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Sixty patients were divided into two groups: one group received a TAP block with a local anesthetic at the end of surgery, and the control group did not. The main goal was to see if the TAP block significantly lowers pain scores (measured on a scale of 0 to 10) within the first 12 hours after surgery and if it reduces the need for additional pain-relief medications.
