Brief summary
The key hole gall bladder surgery is one of the commonest surgery performed. there are various methods used for pain relief after the surgery.Traditionally local anaesthetics is injected into the wounds.Recently by ultrsound guidance local anaesthetics were injected into the abdonminal planes (transverses abdominis plane).The nerves supply the the entire abdominal wall. Recent trials did show they benefit in abdominal surgery. So far only one trial compared these two methods.The purpose of this trial is to find out which one of them did better in regards to pain releief. Also patient satisfaction score may reveal which of these methods were acceptable
Interventions

But the satisfaction outcomes are measured by doing a likert score to observe what extent these methods benefited in each group.
