Brief Summary   Postoperative pain control is a substantial problem with laparoscopic cholecystectomy ,a common surgical procedure.Erector spinae plane block (ESPB), a relatively new block has been shown to have beneficial effects on post operative analgesia in neuropathic pain , thoracic surgical procedures and upper abdominal surgeries.


The aim of this prospective randomized double blinded study is to compare the efficacy of ESPB with local anaesthetic 0.375 % ropivacaine with or without dexmedetomidine as  an adjuvant in laparoscopic surgeries.

 A total of 60  patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be enrolled in the study and divided into two groups .According to a computer-generated randommization table, patients in group A will receive ESPB with only  local anaesthetic,while those in group B will receive ESPB with local anaesthetic  admixed with dexmedetomidine 0.5 microgram per kg.The data will collected,entered in the master chart, and analysed using the student’s ’t ’ test for continuous data and the chi-square test for categorical data,,as  and where appropriate.
