Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy

To compare total perioperative opioid consumption in each of the study groups at 48h expressed as morphine milligram equivalent.

Secondary objectives 4

  1. To compare total perioperative opioid consumption in each of the study groups at post-anesthesia recovery unit (PACU) and 24h after surgery.
  2. To compare postoperative pain score at rest and movement by visual analog scale (VAS) or numeric rate score (NRS) at post-anesthesia recovery unit, 24h and 48h after surgery.
  3. To determine if there is any difference in the incidence of nausea and vomiting at post-anesthesia recovery unit, 24h and 48h after surgery.
  4. To determine if there are differences in the onset of oral tolerance, ambulation movilization and length of hospital stay.

Randomised Controlled Double [{"id":28411,"code":2,"name":"Investigator"},{"id":28410,"code":1,"name":"Subject"}] TAP group:: After anesthetic induction, a bilateral transversus abdominis plane block will be performed under aseptic and ultrasound-guided conditions. 40 ml of Levobupivacaine 0.25% will be infiltrated, 20 ml on each side, between the transverse muscle and the external oblique muscle. The TAP block will be performed by an anesthesiologist. The trocars will then be inserted into the abdomen in the usual manner for this surgery and once the procedure is completed they will be removed.
Wound infiltration group:: After anesthetic induction, the surgeon will infiltrate a total of 40ml of Levobupivacaine 0.25% prior to performing the laparoscopic ports, in the area where the incisions will be made. Then, the trocars will be inserted in the abdomen as usual in this surgery.
