Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Group A- Bilateral subcostal Transverse Abdominis Plane Block with 20ml 0.25% bupivacaine each side  A high frequency linear array transducer with frequency ranging from 15 to 16 MHz sonosite probe with sterile drape is used. USG transducer will be placed over midline to identify rectus muscle and moved to lateral side until it reaches the plane between the internal oblique muscle and transverse abdominis muscle.An appropriate sized 22 gauge short beveled insulated nerve block needle is introduced in this plane.Accurate needle position will be confirmed with 1-2ml saline injection(hydrodissection). 20ml of 0.25% bupivacaine is injected in the same plane after confirming the plane by hydrodissection.The same procedure will be repeated in the opposite side  
Comparator Agent  Group B - Port site local infiltration with 0.5 ml bupivacaine 7ml each at periumbilical and subxiphoid port ,3ml each at anterior axillary and mid-clavicular port site.  Port site local infiltration will be performed by the surgeon using 20ml of 0.5% bupivacaine .7ml of the drug will be injected at periumbilical port site, 7ml at subxiphoid port, 3ml at anterior axillary and 3ml at midclavicular port site.

Brief Summary   This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided bilateral subcostal transverse abdominis plane block with that of port-site infiltration in providing post operative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be randomly allocated into two groups. One group will receive ultrasound guided bilateral subcostal transverse abdominis plane block where as the other group will receive port-site local infiltration before surgery. Then the two groups will be assessed for post operative pain using numerical rating scale scores, use of any rescue analgesics and total opioid requirement in first 24 hrs post operatively. Any adverse events following the procedure will be noted.
