Brief Summary: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum block using Bupivacaine versus Bupivacaine- Dexamethasone in providing analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Because postoperative pain after laparoscopic surgery is complex, specialists suggest that effective analgesic treatment should be a multimodal support. Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a new abdominal truncal block for controlling somatic pain in both the upper and lower abdomen. Dexamethasone, through its anti-inflammatory and blocking effects on neural discharge, and nociceptor C fibers transmission could be used as a local anesthetic adjuvant.
Detailed Description: The patients were randomly allocated into three groups each contains (30) patient. Control group (C) received bilateral ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block using (20 ml 0.9% normal saline + 1mL 0.9% normal saline) in each side ,Bupivacaine group (B) received bilateral quadratus lumborum block using (20 ml Bupivacaine hydrochloride 0.25% + 1mL 0.9% normal saline) in each side and Dexamethasone-Bupivacaine group (D) received bilateral quadratus lumborum block using (20 ml Bupivacaine hydrochloride 0.25% + 1 mL dexamethasone "4mg") in each side.

The following variables: heart Rate, mean arterial Blood Pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation, visual analogue pain scale , time to first analgesic request, total Analgesic requirement in the first 24 hours, patient satisfaction and complications were Recorded and compared between groups.
