Brief Summary  

     INTRODUCTION

Laparoscopic procedures has many advantages over open procedures, such as lesser hemorrhage, better cosmetic results, lesser post-operative pain, and shorter recovery time, leading to shorter hospital stay and less expenditure. 

Postoperative pain is reduced compared to the open surgery, but effective analgesic treatment after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has remained a clinical challenge.

Local anesthetic instillation in the peritoneal cavity decreases intensity of postoperative pain after laparoscopic surgeries.

INNOVATIVE CONCEPT OF THE PROJECT

Local anaesthetics has been used for control of pain by intra peritoneal instillation and has become an important addition for postoperative pain in the era of modern surgery. The role and dosing of Levobupivacaine and dexmeditomidine is relatively new.


               AIM

To compare the duration of post operative analgesia offered by intraperitoneal Levobupivacaine alone or with dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
