About this trial

This study aims to evaluate whether an ultrasound-guided recto-intercostal fascial plane block performed before surgical incision in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduces intraoperative opioid and volatile anesthetic consumption. Additionally, the study assesses its effects on postoperative pain and the incidence of nausea and vomiting.
