Hypothesis: TAP block is better in preventing post operative opioid consumption Materials & Methods: A TAP group A received laparoscopic-assisted Transversus Abdominis Plane TAP block with 20 ml 0.5 % Ropivacaine in subcostal region while the Control group B received 20 ml saline solution. Postoperative pain scores at rest and on coughing were recorded using numerical rating scores at 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hrs.
