Brief Summary

A chief component in contributition to the pain experienced after abdominal surgery is from the incision in the abdominal wall and parietal peritonium pain and less from internal visceral trauma. Intraoperative and postoperative pain following upper abdominal surgeries including open cholecystectomies can be controlled with systemic opioids ,epidural analgesia, NSAIDS,and peripheral nerve blocks like thoracic paravertebral or Oblique subcostal transversus block. Both block will be performed under USG guidance using high frequency probe covered with protective sheath. Patients will be assessed  intraoperatively and postoperatively for 48 hr for analgesic and antiemetic requirement. Note will be made of number of doses of rescue analgesia and time for first rescue analgesia.
