Abstract
This study was designed to study the effect of intraperitoneal instillation of bupivacaine in laparoscopic appendectomy patients. From January 2024 to July 2024, 50 patients with uncomplicated, symptomatic appendicitis who were posted for laparoscopic appendectomy in our hospital were included in the study. Patients in group I received intraperitoneal instillation of bupivacaine and those in group 2 received normal saline instillation. Patients were assessed for pain at 5 time intervals after surgery; 2 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr, and 48 hr. The mean total pain score was lower in group 1 than in group 2. Visual analogue scale (VAS) measured pain scores were significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2 at 2hr, 6hr and 12 hr interval. Intraperitoneal instillation of Injection Bupivacaine results in significant reduction in post operative pain in first 12 hours post operative time period without any major increase in complications.
