" 01/01/1999 - "Laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be a safe and effective way of treating the most common symptoms related to gallstone disease." 01/01/1993 - "The best treatment for symptomatic or complicated gallstones is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, now performed in all countries throughout the world.

Pain (Aches) 01/01/2008 - "Our study demonstrated that infiltration of the trocar site with long lasting local anesthetic is extremely effective for the treatment of post-operative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy; pre-incisional local infiltration seems to be better in term of pain perception and intravenous post-operative analgesic consumption." 01/01/2015 - "After laparoscopic cholecystectomy, OSTAP block can provide significant improvement in respiratory function and better pain relief with lower opioid requirement." 06/01/2005 - "However, in one meta-analysis of the literature, intraperitoneal LA have been shown to be effective for pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
