Effective analgesia is essential to facilitate recovery, reduce complications, and minimize opioid consumption, especially in patients with obesity who are more susceptible to respiratory compromise. This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of weight-standardized intraperitoneal instillation of local anesthetic (IPILA) using 0.2% bupivacaine in reducing postoperative pain among patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ninety adult patients undergoing bariatric surgery were randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving intraperitoneal bupivacaine (0.5 mL\/kg) or a control group receiving no instillation. Pain scores were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at recovery, and 2, 4, and 24\u00a0h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included analgesic and antiemetic use after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The intervention group showed significantly lower VAS scores at recovery (2.2\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6 vs. 4.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2) and at 2\u00a0h (2.7\u2009\u00b1\u20091.2 vs. 4.1\u2009\u00b1\u20091.1) compared to the control group (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
