Summary
The purpose of the study is to learn whether perioperative IV (intravenous) administration of
acetaminophen (commonly referred to as Tylenol) shows any different clinical outcomes over
the oral (by mouth) administration of acetaminophen for a patient having a laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. If improved pain scores occur with the administration of IV acetaminophen,
it may result in fewer requests for pain-related intervention such as other oral pain
medications.
