About

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries cause moderate/severe pain and thus can result in shallow breathing, atelectasis and increased opioid consumption in the early postoperative period which in turn cause a longer hospital stay. Erector spinae plane block has been shown to decrease lower thoracic pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries. This study aims to investigate the effect of erector spinae plane block on opioid consumption and diaphragma movement after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgeries.
