At random, the patients were divided into two groups of thirty each. Group 1 was given STAP block with bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine along with intraperitoneal normal saline. Bupivacaine, dexmedetomidine was administered intraperitoneally to Group 2 along with STAP with normal saline. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to measure postoperative pain at rest, while coughing, and for shoulder tip discomfort as a primary outcome.
