This is a prospective observational study where the type of intervention is not randomised but the block to be administered is determined by the attending anesthetist managing the said case. Patients pain score and vitals is observed post operatively at 0,2,6,12 and 24 hours along with patient satisfaction score by Likert scale at the end of 24 hours.
