Clinical Trial Summary

Pain after laparoscopy differs considerably from that seen after laparotomy. Laparotomy results mainly in parietal pain (abdominal wall), where as Pain in laparoscopy results from stretching of the intra-abdominal cavity, peritoneal inflammation, and diaphragmatic irritation caused by residual carbon-dioxide in the peritoneal cavity. The transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block is a peripheral nerve block designed to anesthetize the nerves supplying the anterior abdominal wall (T6 to L1). While esmolol is an ultra-short acting intravenous β-blocker having a rapid onset and offset effect. It provides an unprecedented level of tolerability and safety in the perioperative setting. When used as an adjunct, it has been shown to improve the postoperative recovery by reducing postoperative pain intensity and intraoperative anesthetic and opioid requirements and preventing opioid-induced hyperalgesia . The mechanism of this synergistic effect is uncertain, but both pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics interactions with anesthetic drugs have been proposed.
