Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	LG-TAP block with local anesthetic	The laparoscopic guided TAP Block was performed by surgeon at the beginning of surgery, injecting 15 ml of Ropivacaine 0.5% on each side, using an atraumatic needle (10/15 cm length, 20 Gauge diameter) close to the anterior axillary line, between the iliac crest and the subcostal margin. Correct needle tip positioning between the transverse muscle of the abdomen and the internal oblique was verified through laparoscopic guidance.
PROCEDURE	LG-TAP block with saline solution	The laparoscopic guided TAP Block was performed by surgeon at the beginning of surgery, injecting 15 ml of Saline solution (NaCl 0.9%) on each side, using an atraumatic needle (10/15 cm length, 20 Gauge diameter) close to the anterior axillary line, between the iliac crest and the subcostal margin. Correct needle tip positioning between the transverse muscle of the abdomen and the internal oblique was verified through laparoscopic guidance.
PROCEDURE	Port site infiltration	Prior the surgical incision, an infiltration of the laparoscopic access using a total of 10 ml Ropivacaine 0.5% was performed by surgeon
