Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic gall stones. For pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy both intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of lignocaine has been used. But it is not clear from the existing literature which form of administration is more effective for pain relief.
