Clinical Trial Summary

Two ultrasound guided techniques to give postoperative pain relief to the patients following abdominal surgeries would be compared using scoring systems for pain relief and scientific methods. while one technique is routinely used, other i.e quadratus lumborum has been recently described and relies on posterior deposition of the drug. Both the techniques are safe and ultrasound imaging is to be used for guidance.

Intervention

Procedure:
• ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum or Transversus Abdominis plane block
