Brief Summary  

 This trial will be conducted in patients having pancreatic, stomach and gall bladder cancer who will be planned for curative resection but found inoperable during surgery. Since these patients have poor prognosis and also complains of severe abdominal pain affecting quality of life. So, intraoperative celiac plexus neurolysis will be done and its analgesic efficacy will be compared with pharmacological therapy for management of postoperative pain on day 1, 2 and 3 in these patients. This study will also compare cumulative morphine consumption and assessment of severity of pain and quality of life in both groups at 1, 3 and 6 months after neurolytic procedure
