LTAP After Cholecystectomy

An adult patient is scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The surgical team is considering laparoscopic-guided transversus abdominis plane block rather than standard port-site local anesthetic infiltration for postoperative analgesia.

What does the evidence in this abstract support when comparing LTAP block with port-site local anesthetic infiltration after laparoscopic cholecystectomy?
