• Conditions: Unilateral inguinal hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, (2) ICD-10 Condition: K402||Bilateral inguinal hernia, withoutobstruction or gangrene,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2020/02/023230

Study has been approved from hospital ethics committee and now registered with CTRI. Informed written consent from 42 patients of either gender, scheduled to undergo laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery under general anaesthesia after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria will be taken.

Study design: prospective, randomized controlled trial

After the surgery before extubation of trachea patients will be randomised to receive either ultrasound guided transverses abdominis plane block or retrolaminar block. 20ml of 0.375% of ropivacaine will be given on each side. Postoperatively for 24hr patients will followed up for VAS score, total analgesic use, haemodynamics, patient satisfaction score and any other adverse effects. Patients will  be evaluated postoperatively for pain score and patient satisfaction score at 1 month of follow up.
