Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
24 hr requirement of morphine in patients undergoing Single Incision Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (SILC) with or without TAP block with either 0.25% or 0.375% Ropivacaine.Timepoint: 24 hours	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1).Intraoperative haemodynamic parameters (heart rate, mean arterial pressure). 2).Intraoperative analgesic requirement. 3).Visual Analog Scores (VAS) for pain at rest and on coughing at 0,1,2,4,6,12 & 24 hrs postoperatively. 4).Priming Morphine requirement immediately postoperatively and Time taken for the first PCA(Patient Controlled Analgesia) demand.Timepoint: at 0,1,2,4,6,12 & 24 hrs postoperatively.	—
