About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of adding fentanyl to the TAP block in laparoscopic cholecystectomy cases. It is hypothesized that the addition of fentanyl to the TAP block will enhance the quality of postoperative analgesia and prolong the duration of blockade compared to the TAP block performed with bupivacaine alone. The study aims to determine the most effective approach by comparing these two treatment methods with a control group.
