Interventions

OTHER

QL Block

If the subject has been randomized to the block group, a subcutaneous lidocaine skin wheel placed will be placed followed by a quadratus lumborum regional block with 40 ml, 0.25% ropivacaine deposited deep to the transversus abdominus apnoneurosis and superficial to the fascia transversalis with direct ultrasound guidance. Local anesthetic will be injected in 5 ml aliquots with aspiration for blood performed before and after the injection of each aliquot. Local anesthetic injection will also be observed with real time ultrasound guidance.
