Clinical Trial Summary

Laparoscopic bariatric procedures nowadays are employed under ERAS protocol as an ambulatory surgery. Pain after laparoscopic procedures arises significantly from port site incisions in the anterior abdominal wall, and shoulder pain (referred from visceral pain). Narcotic medications are utilized to manage postoperative pain, but its disadvantages include, increased post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV), ileus, sedation and delayed hospital discharge. Oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (OSTAP) had been studied before and found to be effective in reducing post-operative morphine usage and produce good analgesia for about 24hours postoperatively. The ultrasound-guided external oblique intercostal (EOI) block is a new technique which proved to produce unilateral analgesia at thoracic dermatomes supplying the anterior and lateral aspects of the upper abdomen. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that US-guided EOI blocks can produce more reduction in opioid usage during the first 24 h after of laparoscopic bariatric surgeries when compared to oblique subcostal TAP (OSTAP) block.
