Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the dermatomal blockade between laparoscopy assisted with ultrasound guided Transversus abdominis plane blockTimepoint: Dermatomal blockade will be checked thirty minutes after extubation in both the groups

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the duration of effective postoperative analgesia 2. Distribution of VAS score during the first 24 hours 3. To compare the time taken to perform the blockTimepoint: 1. Duration of effective analgesia will be calculated in minutes from the time block is given until the first dose of rescue analgesia is given 2. VAS score will be documented at 2 4 6 12 & 24 hours post surgery 3. Time taken to perform the block from skin insertion of needle to depostion of drug will be calculated in minutes
