Abstract |
Background |
Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains a major challenge. Ondansetron blocks sodium channels and may have local anesthetic properties.
Aims |
To investigate the effect of intraperitoneal administration of ondansetron for postoperative pain management as an adjuvant to intravenous acetaminophen in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods |
Patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into two groups (n = 25 each) to receive either intraperitoneal ondansetron or saline injected in the gall bladder bed at the end of the procedure. The primary outcome was the difference in pain from baseline to 24-h post-operative assessed by comparing the area under the curve of visual analog score between the two groups.
Results |
The derived area under response curve of visual analog scores in the ondansetron group (735.8 ± 418.3) was 33.97% lower than ( p = 0.005) that calculated for the control group (1114.4 ± 423.9). The need for rescue analgesia was significantly lower in the ondansetron (16%) versus in the control group (54.17%) ( p = 0.005), indicating better pain control. The correlation between the time for unassisted mobilization and the area under response curve of visual analog scores signified the positive analgesic influence of ondansetron ( r s = 0.315, p = 0.028). The frequency of nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in patients who received ondansetron than that reported in the control group ( p = 0.023 (8 h), and 0.016 (24 h) respectively).
Conclusions |
The added positive impact of ondansetron on postoperative pain control alongside its anti-emetic effect made it a unique novel option for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Highlights |
• | Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy usually delays hospital discharge. |
• | Postoperative use of acetaminophen alone is mostly insufficient to control pain. |
• | Intraperitoneal ondansetron improved the analgesic efficacy of acetaminophen. |
• | Intraperitoneal ondansetron lowered nausea and vomiting frequency post-surgery. |
• | The local anesthetic effect of ondansetron made it a novel option to manage pain. |
