Summary
Patients with acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis due to gallstones benefit from emergency
laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients with emergency LC show improvement in their
quality of life within one month compared to those treated. Delayed LC (after the acute phase
has passed and recovered) and less time to work. This strategy reduces the risk of repeated
admissions with more pain or pancreatitis. There are many studies on the effectiveness of the
Elective LC and Transversus Abdominis Plan (TAP) Block on pain. However, a prospective study
on the reduction of postoperative pain with emergency LC and TAP Block has not been carried
out until now. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the TAP Block in
patients undergoing emergency LC.
