Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
We are taking ASA grade I and II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery. One group of patients will be given ultrasound guided Right sided external oblique intercostal plane block and bilateral rectus sheath block with 0.2% ropivacaine and other group of patients will be given local port site infiltration with 0.2% ropivacaine after giving general anaesthesia for post operative pain relief.
Duration of analgesia will be compared in both the groups. Post operative pain will be assessed by numerical rating scale at rest and on coughing for 12 hours, if pain occurs will be relieved by bolus dose of injection Morphine (0.1mg/kg) slow iv and subsequently connected to PCA pump programmed to deliver the injection morphine (1mg/ml dilution) and post operative nausea vomiting will be relieved by injection ondansetron 0.04mg/kg iv SOS.
