Increased patient's comfort, namely less postoperative pain, is considered to be its greatest advantage. However, pain following surgery can still be an important problem. Port site local anesthetic injection (PSLAI), iliohypogastric-/ilioinguinal nerve block (IINB), and preperitoneal local anesthetic spraying (PLAS) are relatively new techniques with sparse data to address this issue.
