Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine the effect of combined intracutaneous infiltration and intraperitoneal instillation of 80 mL 0,125% levobupivacaine prior to the start of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on abdominal pain up to 24 hours after surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary endpoint of this study was postoperative abdominal pain as measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS), using a VAS lineal with a slide. The patient was asked to indicate a score from 0 to 100 corresponding to his or her pain. At 0.5, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours after the surgical procedure the primary investigator visited the patient to obtain the VAS scores.
