Inadequate analgesia may delay recovery, increase opioid consumption, and negatively affect patient satisfaction. Regional anesthesia techniques are increasingly incorporated into multimodal analgesia protocols to improve postoperative outcomes and reduce opioid requirements.\n\nThe erector spinae plane (ESP) block and the subcostal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block are ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks commonly used for abdominal surgery. While both techniques have demonstrated analgesic benefits, their comparative effectiveness in laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains uncertain. In particular, differences in visceral pain control, opioid-sparing effect, and shoulder pain incidence require further investigation.\n\nThis study is designed as a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, clinical trial conducted at two tertiary care hospitals in Turkey. Eligible adult patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia will be randomly assigned to receive either bilateral ESP block or bilateral subcostal TAP block after induction of anesthesia. Standardized anesthesia and postoperative multimodal analgesia protocols will be applied in both groups to ensure comparability between centers.\n\nThe primary outcome measure is total opioid consumption within the first 24 postoperative hours, expressed as morphine equivalent dose. Secondary outcome measures include postoperative pain scores assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), time to first analgesic request, incidence of shoulder pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and block-related complications.\n\nRandomization will be performed using a computer-generated sequence, with allocation concealment ensured. Patients and postoperative outcome assessors will be blinded to group assignment. Data will be prospectively recorded and analyzed according to a predefined statistical analysis plan.\n\nThe findings of this study are expected to provide evidence-based guidance for optimizing regional analgesia strategies in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.",[27,33],{"label":28,"type":29,"description":30,"interventionNames":31},"Erector Spinae Plane Block","EXPERIMENTAL","Patients in this arm will receive ultrasound-guided bilateral erector spinae plane block following induction of general anesthesia.
