Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
arm 1:both infiltration at the port site and intraperitoneal instillation: 20ml of a solution containing ropivacaine (2 mg/ml) was infiltrated at the port site before insertion of trocar and 100 ml of ropivacaine solution (2 mg/kg) was infused intraperitoneally immediately after the creation of the pneumoperitoneum and 10 min before the beginning of surgery..
arm 2: intraperitoneal instillation: 20ml normal saline was infiltrated at the port site before insertion of trocar, and 100 ml of ropivacaine solution (2 mg/kg) was infused intraperitoneally immediately after the creation of the pneumoperitoneum and 10 min before the beginning of surgery..
arm 3: infiltration at the port site:20ml of a solution containing ropivacaine (2 mg/ml) was infiltrated at the port site before insertion of trocar and 100 ml of normal saline solution was infused intraperitoneally immediately after the creation of the pneumoperitoneum and 10 min before the beginning of surgery..

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The details of the series are kept in a set of sealed envelopes, each bearing only the case number on the outside. After admitting into the operating room and just before the induction of anaesthesia, the numbered envelope was opened and the card inside determined which group the patient would be affiliated to.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Randomization into one of the four groups was based on Excel random-number generation.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)

Summary
Brief summary
The parietal component is incisional pain experienced at the port sites and visceral component is deep intra-abdominal pain related to diaphragmatic irritation caused by pnemoperitoneum and postcholecystectomy wound. Shoulder tip pain is presumably referred pain related to distension of diaphragm caused by pneumoperitoneum and resultant phrenic nerve neuropraxia.The aim of our prospective, randomized, double-blind study was to evaluate the intensity of visceral, parietal and shoulder tip pain, and to determine the efficacy of peritrocal injection and intraperitoneal instillation of ropivacaine on each pain.
