Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Ultrasound Guided Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane block   Lumbar ESP block will be performed at the beginning of surgery. A linear ultrasound transducer will be placed in a longitudinal parasagittal orientation 2-4 cm lateral to L2 spinous process. The erector spinae muscles will be identified superficial to the tip of L2 transverse process. The patients skin will be anesthetized with 2% lidocaine. A 18-gauge 10-cm Tuohy’s needle will be inserted using an in plane approach to place the tip into the fascial plane on the deep (anterior) aspect of erector spinae muscle. The location of the needle tip will be confirmed by visible fluid spread lifting erector spinae muscle off the bony shadow of the transverse process. Following this, a 18G catheter is threaded through the Tuohy’s needle.  
Comparator Agent  Ultrasound Guided Paravertebral block   Patient will be put in lateral decubitus position with the operative side up. Under all aseptic precautions, with a linear probe at 10-12 MHz, the transverse process of L2 vertebrae will be identified, and the paravertebral space will be entered using an 18 G, 10cm Tuohy’s needle. Once the needle is in the paravertebral space, the site is confirmed using hydrolocation technique by injecting 1-2ml normal saline and drugs (25ml of 0.25% ropivacaine) will be injected in the paravertebral space. Following this, a 18G catheter is threaded through the Tuohy’s needle.

Brief Summary  
The proposed study will be conducted in the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Vardhman Mahavir Medical College, New Delhi, after obtaining written informed consent from all the patients.
All patients will undergo a pre-anaesthetic check up with all the relevant investigations.
Following the application of the blocks, the patients will be taken up for surgery after giving a subarachnoid block using hyperbaric 0.5% bupivacaine (2.5 ml) + fentanyl (15 microgram). 
Monitoring of the level of block will be done during surgery and when the level of sensory block recedes to T10, 25ml of 0.5% Ropivacaine will be given through the catheter and a continuous infusion of 0.25% Ropivacaine at the rate of 5ml per hour will be started and continued post operatively for 24hours.
