Brief Summary   Post operative pain remains a significant concern following laparoscopic cholecytectomy, affecting patient comfort, recovery, potential for same day discharge and overall satisfaction. With the widespread availability of ultrasound guidance for more accurate localization of transverse abdominis plane, the block is considered as an important technique for reduction of post operative pain in abdominal surgeries. in view of above, this study is being undertaken whether ropivacaine with its inherent advantages is superior to bupivaciane for providing post-operative analgesia when used for tranverse abdominis plane block in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecytectomy.
