Brief Summary  

 Total abdominal hysterectomy(TAH) is commonly performed major surgical procedure. It results in substantial post operative pain and discomfort. 

  These patients require multimodal post operative pain treatment regimen. Inadequate control of post operative pain leads to unwanted side effects like 

discomfort, thromboembolic phenomenon and pulmonary complications

Conventional methods like use of NSAIDS although provide satisfactory    analgesia are associated with unwanted side effects like gastric 

irritation,bleeding. Epidural analgesia is used to reduce pain after surgeries, but it might be contra indicated in some patients.

 TAP block is novel type of truncal nerve block that involves innervation of anterolateral abdominal wall derived from T6 to L1. It provides adequate post 

operative pain relief following various abdominal surgeries. Advantages of TAP block includes preservation of lower limb motor function,hemodynamic 

stability and less invasiveness.

This prospective randomised control double blind study is designed to test the hypothesis that TAP block with dexamethasone will provide effective 

analgesia after TAH in comparison to use of conventional methods like NSAIDS.
