Summary

This trial tests whether adding a second nerve block to the standard one improves pain control after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. Adults scheduled for this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either one block or two blocks, both using the local anesthetic bupivacaine. The main goal is to see if the combined approach reduces pain intensity in the first hours after surgery, potentially leading to a more comfortable recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
External oblique intercostal plane block with or without recto-intercostal fascial plane block, using bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If the combined blocks work better, it could lead to a simple, drug-free way to ease pain after gallbladder surgery, reducing the need for strong painkillers.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, and the added block may not provide extra pain relief. There are also rare risks like bleeding or infection at the injection site.
