Brief Summary   This study is a prospective Randomised controlled Trial comparing three different ultrasound guided regional blocks in patients aged 2-10yrs posted for elective open inguinal hernia surgeries. Drug used for the blocks is 0.25% Ropivacaine administered after induction of General anaesthesia. The study will be conducted on 60 subjects and the time to first analgesic requirement during the postoperative period  among the three groups will be compared  from postoperative period till discharge from hospital. Intra operative Fentanyl requirement, Post operative FLACC scores, Duration for performing each block and total cumulative requirement of Paracetamol and Fentanyl during post operative period till discharge from hospital will be compared as secondary outcomes.
