Summary

This study looks at whether giving a numbing injection to the belly muscles before or after gallbladder removal surgery leads to less pain. 96 adults having planned gallbladder surgery will be randomly assigned to get the injection either before the surgeon starts or after the surgery ends. The goal is to find the best timing to reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers.
