Effect Of Specimen Extraction Site And Local Anesthesia On Postoperative Pain In Laparoscopic Appendectomy

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Port-site local anesthesia infiltration: Infiltration of local anesthetic solution (bupivacaine) into the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and fascial layers of all trocar sites prior to closure

Port-Site Saline Infiltration (Placebo): Prior to wound closure, a total of 10 cc of %0.9 normal saline solution is infiltrated into the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and fascial layers of all trocar sites as a placebo control

Study summary

The aim of this prospective, randomized study is to evaluate the effects of two different specimen extraction sites (periumbilical versus left lower quadrant) and the routine application of port-site local anesthesia infiltration on postoperative pain and complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis."

Eligibility
