Summary
This study compares a low volume of the painkiller bupivacaine to the standard volume for a nerve block after gallbladder surgery. The goal is to see if the lower dose controls pain just as well while reducing the risk of side effects. About 96 adults having planned gallbladder surgery will take part.

If it works, this could lead to safer pain control after gallbladder surgery with less risk of side effects from the anesthetic.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 96 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The lower volume might not control pain as well as the standard dose.
