Control group
After induction of anaesthesia, a bolus of 2mg/kg intravenous lidocaine will be given followed by Lidocaine infusion at the rate of 1.5 mg/kg/hour which will be stopped at the end of surgery.
After completion of procedure and before extubation, bilateral ultrasound guided subcoastal transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block will be performed by the primary anaesthetist. After taking aseptic measures, with patient in supine position a high frequency (6-13 MHz) linear ultrasound probe will be placed obliquely just inferior to the costal margin over the anterior abdominal wall. With the help of a 21G or 22G, 100 mm needle, 20 ml of 0.375% Ropivacaine will be injected between rectus sheath and fascia of transversus abdominis muscle, bilaterally.
No additional intervention will be given to this group
