Brief Summary   Multimodal pain management is the standard of care in the surgical patients in the post operative period. LSCS is considered as one of the most common surgeries the practice of the obstetrics. Opioids and other NSAIDs as the analgesics of choice ,have many adverse effects. Hence, establishing different methods other than conventional methods for post op analgesia are the current trend in practice of preoperative care. TAP blocks thoracic sensory nerves T7 - T12 with conventional approach and controls postoperative incisional pain. QLB can control the somatic pain after major abdominal surgery which can be performed in patients undergoing LSCS. It is also considered as an easily approached peripheral nerve block. The studies have shown that it is more or equally effective as TAP block. The prolongation of the duration of analgesia is always an added benefit to the patients.
