Brief Summary  
The External oblique intercostal plane (EOIP)
block is a novel technique reported by Hamilton
et al. performed by administering LA superior or
deep of the external oblique muscle from the
sixth intercostal space leading to the blockage of
thoracoabdominal nerves at T6-T10.

The subcostal transverse abdominis plane
(SCTAP) block is the deposition of local anesthetic
in the transverse abdominis plane inferior and
parallel to the costal margin.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

To evaluate efficacy of USG guided external
oblique block versus Subcostal Transverse
abdominus plane block
Patients Included in study will be randomly
divided in two equal groups of 50 each

Group A : ultrasonography guided external
oblique block

Group B : ultrasonography guided subcostal
transverse abdominis plane block

Block to be administered postoperatively ,
immediately on completion of surgery prior to
extubation.

0.2% Ropivacaine with 100 µg to be used as
drug solution 20 ml on either side in both
groups.
