Abstract
Abstract The conversion of laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy with a large oblique subcostal incision may be associated with severe pain, leading to basilar atelectasis, delayed post-operative recovery and respiratory failure. Various techniques like thoracic epidural block, paravertebral blocks, erector spine block, transverse abdominis plane blocks and anterior quadratus lumboram plane block can be practised to alleviate the pain. In this particular case, we describe an External Oblique Intercostal Block which was given for postoperative analgesia after open cholecystectomy.
