Summary

This study tests whether a newer nerve block (EXORA) works as well as or better than a standard one (ESP) for controlling pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. About 114 adults having elective surgery will receive one of the two blocks. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers like opioids, which can cause side effects.
