Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Anaesthetist delivered transversus abdominis plane block  The intervention is such that the anaesthetist delivers transversus abdominis plane block under ultrasound guidance using 30ml of 0.25% bupivacaine with 0.1MG/KG dexamethasone as additive agent before the beginning of surgery in the transversus abdominis plane on both sides in around 5-10 minutes. 
Comparator Agent  Surgeon delivered laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane block  The comparator agent is surgeon delivered laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane block under direct vision using 30ml of 0.25% bupivacaine with 0.1MG/KG dexamethasone as additive agent in the transversus abdominis plane on both sides in around 5-10 minutes after placing the laparoscope at the beginning of the surgery.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary outcome is to compare surgeon placed Laparoscopic transversus abdominis plane blocks and anaesthetist placed ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane blocks for post-operative pain control in laparoscopic colorectal surgery and to compare the primary duration of analgesia as determined by the vas score.
 
The time points are to measure vas score every hour for first 6hours, then at 12th hour and 24th hour post operatively and to measure vitals every 30 minutes till end of the surgery. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The secondary outcome is to determine the incidence of post operative nausea & vomiting & to find out total dose of narcotics used(time frame –upto 24 hours) & also
to find out the time of rescue analgesia
 
Time points are every hour till first 6 hours, then at 12th hour & 24th hour post operatively.

Brief Summary  

       Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs improve post-operative outcomes and reduces cost in colorectal surgery.A multimodal, opiate sparing pain regimen is a central component of ERAS protocols.Benefits of reducing opiates include decreased post operative nausea,vomiting, and sedation as well as reducing time to return of bowel function and expediting patient recovery.The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an important non-narcotic adjunct for post-operative pain control in abdominal surgery.Surgeons can use laparoscopic guidance for TAP block placement (LTAP), however, direct comparisons to conventional ultrasound guided TAP (UTAPs) have been lacking.
