Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The duration of analgesia measured from the time of injection of the local anesthetic to the time of first request for analgesia (the first time the patient feels moderate or severe pain).[In the post-operative period: Visual Analogue Score (VAS). 0 = no pain, to 10 = the most severe pain, 0-3 = mild pain , 4-6 = moderate pain, >6 = severe pain. <br>(VAS) will be recorded at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18,and 24 hours postoperatively.<br>];The quality of block <br>[ Will be assessed as follows:<br>Complete block: Patients who will not need fentanyl intra-operatively or diclofenac sodium injection 4 hours postoperatively.<br>Partial block: Patients who will need either fentanyl intra-operatively or diclofenac sodium injection 4 hours postoperatively.<br>Failed block: Patients who will need fentanyl intra-operatively and diclofenac sodium injection 4 hours postoperatively.<br>]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Analgesic consumption[Dose of fentanyl and diclofenac sodium is assessed from the time of injection of the local anesthetic until 4 hours post-operatively.];The occurrence of any complication related to the technique e.g pneumo-thorax, hemo-thorax.....etc will be recorded. [During performing the technique and the first 24 hours ]
