About this study

Postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has a three component: parietal, visceral and referring (shoulder) pain. Although intensities of them can be various, all of them affects the total pain together. Unintentional liver cauterization during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is unwanted, but sometimes unavoidable complication/process. However its effect on postoperative pain is not studied with detail in literature.
