Abstract
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a common minimally invasive surgical procedure done under general anesthesia using an opioid-based regimen. Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, some patients may have significant discomfort in the postoperative period in the first 24 to 72 hours. Inadequate pain control, PONV, and delayed recovery are common postoperative issues. This case report shows that OFA is a safe, opioid‑sparing, and feasible option that provide stable perioperative hemodynamics, good analgesia, and an uneventful recovery profile to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
