Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Ultrasound guided Bilateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block with 0.25% Levobupivacaine vs 0.25% Levobupivacaine with 4 mg Dexamethasone.  76 Patients will be randomly divided into two groups of 38 each. Group1 will receive 20 ml 0.25% Levobupivacaine with 1 ml Normal Saline on each side. Group 2 will receive 20 ml 0.25% Levobupivacaine with 4 mg Dexamethasone on each side. The effect of the comparator agent Dexamethasone on the duration and quality of analgesia over 24 hrs will be studied in the two groups.  
Intervention  Ultrasound guided Bilateral Tranversus Abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients  76 Patients will be randomly divided into two groups of 38 each. Bilateral subcostal tranversus abdominis plane block will be performed under ultrasound guidance in each patient as a component of multimodal analgesia in each patient prior to extubation. Group 1 will receive 20ml 0.25%levobupivacaine with 1 ml Normal saline on each side. Group2 will receive 0.25% levobupivacaine with 4mg dexamethasone on each side.The neurofascial plane between the rectus abdominis muscle and transversus abdominis muscle will be identified and drug will be injected after confirming correct needle placement under ultrasound guidance. Postoperatively the quality of analgesia between two groups would be compared using NRS at rest and on coughing.Postoperative rescue opioids and adverse effects will also be compared between the two groups.

Brief Summary   Our study intends to compare the postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy using ultrasound guided bilateral subcostal transversus abdominis plane block with 0.25% levobupivacaine vs 0.25% levobupivacaine with dexamethasone. Our study aims to comapare the two groups in terms of quality, duration of analgesia and adverse effects if any postoperatively.
