This study proposes infiltrating the hepatoduodenal ligament and the serosal reflection of the gallbladder cystic plate with a combination of Bupivacaine (a long-acting local anesthetic) and Dexamethasone (a corticosteroid). This technique aims to block the hepatic branches of the celiac plexus to improve visceral pain control and its associated clinical manifestations, reduce analgesic requirements, and lower readmission rates, thereby facilitating recovery.
