Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Transversus abdominis plane block (TAP)and ilioinguinal / iliohypogastric plane (IIIH) block.  Usg guided TAP block , interfacial plane block given between internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscle at the triangle of petit and Usg guided IIIH block given into the fascia plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles 2.5 cm medial to anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and 1 cm cephalad to reference line connecting umblicus and ASIS. 
Comparator Agent  Usg guided TAP block and IIIH block.  The TAP group will receive 20 ml of total volume of drug containing 16mL of local anaesthetic levobupivacaine hydrochloride 0.25% + 12mg of adenosine (4ml) and the IIIH group will receive the same composition of the drug . Here two techniques will be compared.

Brief Summary  
This study is a randomised, parallel group, clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of two blocks
i.e ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block versus ilioinguinal/ iliohypogastric block for
postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing inguinal surgeries, as measured by duration of
analgesia and pain score in 24 hours following surgery. The primary outcome of the study is to
record the severity of pain using Numerical rating scale and time to request of first analgesia i.e
the time elapsed between the end of surgery to 1st dose of analgesia. The secondary outcome is
to see the total no. of analgesic doses of opioids and NSAIDs in 24 hours following surgery and to
see any side effects like nausea, vomiting and shivering occurring after the procedure.
