  ABSTRACT: Background: Intraperitoneal instillation (IPI) of local anesthesia was reported to reduce postoperative pain after laparoscopic surgeries. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of IPI of bupivacaine + dexmedetomidine versus bupivacaine + dexamethasone on postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods: This randomized clinical trial was carried out on one hundred patients who underwent LC under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly divided into: Group (Dexa): IPI of bupivacaine with dexamethasone and Group (Dexmed): IPI of bupivacaine with dexmedetomidine. Results: The first time to request analgesia was significantly delayed in the dexmed group (P value Conclusions: Intraperitoneal Bupivacaine + Dexmedetomidine provided longer pain-free postoperative duration lower pain score over time, and lesser analgesic consumption.
