February 16, 2021 updated by: Korgün Ökmen, Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Education and Research Hospital

Investigation of the Efficacy of Unilateral Rhomboid Intercostal and Subserratus Plane Block Application for Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic surgery is frequently used today for abdominal region operations. Laparoscopy has become the preferred treatment for cholecystectomy. Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy suffer from acute postoperative pain despite the multimodal analgesic regimen. For this type of surgery, many different field blocks have been used for postoperative analgesia.
