Summary

In this research study, the investigators are trying to find out which of the two methods of injecting local anesthetics (at the site of the belly button cut or by ultrasound guided rectus sheath block) will provide better pain relief and less need for pain medication after surgery in children undergoing single incision laparoscopic appendectomy.

Conditions

  • Appendicitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

UGBRSB

Under sterile conditions,the posterior rectus sheath will be identified by ultrasound, and an insulated 22 gauge 50 mm needle inserted till the tip is seen to be directly between the rectus abdominis muscle and the posterior rectus sheath. Bupivacaine 0.25% (0.2 ml/kg with maximum 5 ml in each side) will be injected observing the spread on the ultrasound image.

PROCEDURE

Local Infiltration

In those patients randomized to the LAI group, the surgeon will perform infiltration of 0.5 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine (maximum, 10 ml) around the incision
