Brief Summary  

Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups in 1:1 allocation ratio using computer-generated random numbers. Simple random sequence will be generated from the computer.  The group allocation numbers will be concealed in sealed opaque envelopes that will be opened just before the performance of block. Group1 patients will receive TE, whereas Group 2 patients will receive ESP block on the affected side.

In the procedure room, routine monitoring including continuous electrocardiography (ECG), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) will be attached and baseline vitals will be recorded. All the patients will receive premedication with intravenous (IV) fentanyl 1µg/kg.
