Summary
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic gall
stones. For pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy both intraperitoneal and
intravenous administration of lignocaine has been used. But it is not clear from the existing
literature which form of administration is more effective for pain relief. Hence this study
has been undertaken with the following hypothesis : Intravenous lignocaine is superior to
intraperitoneal lignocaine for postoperative pain relief and minimizing the stress response
in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
