Brief Summary   Postoperative pain is an important cause of morbidity in voluntary healthy individuals undergoing donor hepatectomy. 
A single shot of Intrathecal Morphine is a simple, effective and easily performed neuraxial technique with low technical failure rate  . 
 Ultrasound guided External Oblique intercostal Plane block is an emerging technique and is easy to perform , reliable and an alternate to Intrathecal Morphine .
In this study , we aim to compare the Ultrasound Guided External Oblique Intercostal Block and Intrathecal Morphine for pain management in donor hepatectomy surgery .
