Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The present study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, in collaboration with the Department of Surgery, Government medical college and hospital, Chandigarh. Study has been approved from hospital ethics committee and now registered with CTRI. Informed written consent from 42 patients of either gender, scheduled to undergo laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery under general anaesthesia after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria will be taken.
Study design: prospective, randomized controlled trial
After the surgery before extubation of trachea patients will be randomised to receive either ultrasound guided transverses abdominis plane block or retrolaminar block. 20ml of 0.375% of ropivacaine will be given on each side. Postoperatively for 24hr patients will followed up for VAS score, total analgesic use, haemodynamics, patient satisfaction score and any other adverse effects. Patients will  be evaluated postoperatively for pain score and patient satisfaction score at 1 month of follow up.
