Implication

Randomized controlled trial compares analgesia efficacy between unilateral and bilateral TAP blocks in laparoscopic surgery, indicating similar outcomes with reduced anesthetic use.

Key Points

To compare the duration and effectiveness of right unilateral versus bilateral transversus abdominis plane blocks for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial
Compared right unilateral and bilateral subcostal TAP blocks
Measured duration of analgesia, anesthetic dosage, and procedure time
Right unilateral TAP block provided similar analgesia duration to bilateral TAP block
Unilateral block used less local anesthetic
Shorter procedure time for the unilateral block
