Unrelieved postoperative pain may result in clinical and psychological changes that increase morbidity and decrease the quality of life.1Besides the distress caused, severe postoperative pain increases the work of breathing as it limits full chest expansion and impairs patient’s ability to cough effectively.2Many interventions have been tried to reduce such severe pain; including epidural analgesia, patient controlled analgesia, transversus abdominis plane block and local wound infiltration.Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is commonly performed procedure for treating symptomatic gallstones. The benefits of laparoscopic surgery include reduced haemmorhage, smaller and more cosmetic incision and shorter hospital stay. Pain after laparoscopy results from ABSTRACT
