Interventions

Intervention1: patients will receive ultrasound guided subcostal TAP block in one group and ESP in another group for post oprative analgesia following PCNL under GA. : patients planned for PCNL surger

thereafter, a total of 0.25% bupivacaine 25 ml will be injected. The spread of drug will be observed ultrasonographically. Then the patient will be turned supine and extubated. Intervention2: patient

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
the analgesic effect of subcostal transversus abdominal plane block and erector spine block will be assessed at the end of operation by haemodynamic variability and postoperatively by visual analog scale(VAS), if VAS is more than 4 the patient will receive a rescue dose of 1mg/kg/dose of tramadol.Timepoint: VAS scores will be assessed at intervals of 30 min, 60 min, 2nd hour, 4th hour and then followed fourhourly(8, 12, 16, 20, 24) up to 24 hour postoperatively.	—
