Abstract :

Preemptive analgesia could be defined as analgesia that prevents the development of pathological pain. With this concept, referred to as preventive analgesia, it is believed that through application of an analgesic medicine or technique, pain will either subside or be prevented prior to the painful stimulus. This study evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative intravenous paracetamol plus tramadol for early postoperative pain relief after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. These findings suggest that, the early postoperative analgesic effect of 1 g of paracetamol in patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Because of providing decreased opioid consumption with lower side effects, paracetamol can be safely used in post–operative pain management.
