Intervention  Intraperitoneal instillation of drugs after laparoscopic cholecystectomy  Totally 80 patients in the inclusion criteria undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia will be divided into two groups and are age matched. Group R (those who receive 0.2% Ropivacaine 40 ml) and Group RD (those who receive 0.2% Ropivacaine 40ml +Dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg). Study drugs will be prepared by an anaesthesiologist who managed and followed up the patient. At the end of the surgery, the study solution will be given intraperitoneally before removal of the trocar in Trendelenburg’s position, into the hepato diaphragmatic space, on gallbladder bed and near and above hepatoduodenal ligament. The postoperative pain will be assessed using the VAS score at 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h postoperatively. Time to first analgesic requirement after completion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the total analgesic requirement in the first 24 h postoperatively for each patient will be recorded. â–ª Incidence of shoulder pain in the postoperative period â–ª Heart rate (HR), Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and SPO2 will be recorded 5 min before induction and every 5 min for the first 30 min after the administration of drugs. â–ª Sedation is assessed by Ramsay Sedation Scale.  
Comparator Agent  Ropivacaine alone versus Ropivacaine plus Dexmedetomidine  Totally 80 patients in the inclusion criteria undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia will be divided into two groups and are age matched. Group R (those who receive 0.2% Ropivacaine 40 ml) and Group RD (those who receive 0.2% Ropivacaine 40ml +Dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg). The postoperative pain will be assessed using the VAS score at 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h postoperatively. Time to first analgesic requirement after completion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the total analgesic requirement in the first 24 h postoperatively for each patient will be recorded. â–ª Incidence of shoulder pain in the postoperative period â–ª Heart rate (HR), Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and SPO2 will be recorded 5 min before induction and every 5 min for the first 30 min after the administration of drugs. â–ª Sedation is assessed by Ramsay Sedation Scale.

Brief Summary   Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the most accepted surgical technique for cholelithiasis.Intraperitoneal injections of local anaesthetic are used to minimize postoperative pain after laparoscopic surgery .There are studies available on intraperitoneal instillation of local anaesthetic bupivacaine along with adjuvants for postoperative analgesia following laparoscopy cholecystectomy, but only very few on postoperative analgesia with intraperitoneal instillation of ropivacaine which is a local anaesthetic with an improved safety profile when compared to bupivacaine. Hence my study is performed to compare the postoperative analgesic effect following the intraperitoneal instillation of ropivacaine alone versus ropivacaine plus dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The postoperative pain will be assessed using the VAS score at 0 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h .The secondary outcomes measured are the time to first rescue analgesia and the total analgesics used in first 24 hours as well as incidence of any adverse events.
