Summary

Eighty two patients planned to undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were divided into two groups, T and G, randomly. In Group T all patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under thoracic epidural anesthesia with 12mlof 0.25% bupivacaine and 1% lignocaine plain whereas in group G all patients underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Intra-operative heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and post operative opioid consumption in first 24hrs were recorded as primary outcomes whereas presence or absence of respiratory complication and duration of hospital stay as secondary outcome.

Conditions
