About this study

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) can cause moderate-to-severe postoperative pain from visceral, referred shoulder, and incisional sources. Multimodal analgesia is recommended, but opioids carry significant side effects. Ultrasound-guided interfascial plane blocks offer a safe alternative. The Modified Thoracoabdominal Nerve Block through Perichondrial Approach (M-TAPA) blocks T5-T12 dermatomes, while the Recto-Intercostal Fascial Plane Block (RIFPB) provides sensory blockade across the upper anterolateral abdomen. This study compares the postoperative analgesic efficacy of bilateral M-TAPA versus bilateral RIFPB in patients undergoing LC.
