Overview
Brief Summary
Postoperative pain is an important cause of morbidity in voluntary healthy individuals undergoing donor hepatectomy.
A single shot of Intrathecal Morphine is a simple, effective and easily performed neuraxial technique with low technical failure rate .
Ultrasound guided External Oblique intercostal Plane block is an emerging technique and is easy to perform , reliable and an alternate to Intrathecal Morphine .
In this study , we aim to compare the Ultrasound Guided External Oblique Intercostal Block and Intrathecal Morphine for pain management in donor hepatectomy surgery .

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To compare the postoperative fentanyl consumption at 24 hours between the external oblique intercostal and intrathecal morphine groups
Time Frame: upto first 24h in the postoperative period
