Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Opioid based anaesthesia using injection Fentanyl.  Patients undergoing urological laparoscopic surgery will be given opioid based anaesthesia for induction with Injection Fentanyl 1 mcg/kg iv over 10 minutes followed by continuous infusion of inj fentanyl 0.5 mcg/kg/hr till the end of surgery. At the end of induction and before the start of surgery bilateral TAP block will be given with 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine on each side under usg guidance. 
Intervention  Opioid free anaesthesia using injection dexmedetomidine.  Patients undergoing urological laparoscopic surgery will be given opioid free anaesthesia for induction using injection dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg over 10 mins followed by continuous infusion of inj dexmedetomidine 0.5/mcg/kg/hr till the end of surgery. At the end of induction and before the start of surgery bilateral TAP block will be given with 15 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine on each side under usg guidance.

Brief Summary   THIS STUDY IS A PROSPECTIVE, INTERVENTIONAL, RANDOMIZED COMPARATIVE CONTROLLED TRIAL WITH AN AIM TO COMPARE OPIOID-BASED ANAESTHESIA AND OPIOID FREE ANAESTHESIA FOR POSTOPERATIVE ANALGESIA IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LAPAROSCPIC UROLOGICAL SURGERY. THE STUDY WILL BE DONE IN A SINGLE CENTRE IN INDIA. THE PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE WILL BE COMPARING THE VAS- R ( VISUAL ANALOG SCALE ON REST) 1 HOUR AFTER SURGERY IN BOTH THE GROUPS. THE SECONDARY OUTCOMES INCLUDE COMPARING BOTH GROUPS WITH REGARDS TO VAS-C AND VAS-R AT 0,2,4, 6, AND 24 HOURS; TIME TO FIRST RESCUE ANALGESIA AND TOTAL ANALGESIC REQUIREMENT IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS; AND PADS SCORE AT 24 HOURS.
