Brief Summary  
Minimally invasive surgery in colorectal surgery has become the standard of care for
cancer of the large intestine. For the extraction of the resected specimen a midline incision is
made. However, postoperative pain is significantly high and often requires intravenous opioid
analgesia.
Regional anaesthesia techniques help mitigating post-operative pain without the side effects
of opioids and help in early recovery. The somatic innervation of the abdomen traverses
through the tranversus abdominal plane and instillation of local anaesthetics into the plane.
The ubiquitous availability of ultrasound had made the regional anaesthesia more reliable and
safer, while requiring some skills to effectively administer the block. In laparoscopic surgery,
administering local anaesthetics under direct vision.
In colorectal surgery, the incision is made midline where the TAP block may not cover
adequately. Rectus sheath block may be more effective in covering midline incision.
Our study aims to compare the efficacy of LTAP (administered by surgeons) and bilateral
rectus sheath block (by anaesthetists) in decreasing immediate postoperative pain and
evaluation of the effects of vital capacity.
