STUDY DESIGN
Intervention assignment Allocation to intervention If randomised, describe how the allocation sequence was generated Describe how the allocation sequence/code was concealed from the person allocating the participants to the intervention arms Masking If masking / blinding was used
Parallel: different groups receive different interventions at same time during study Randomised Simple randomization using a randomization table created by a computer software program Allocation was determined by the holder of the sequence who is situated off site Masking/blinding used Outcome Assessors
INTERVENTIONS
Intervention type Intervention name Dose Duration Intervention description Group size Nature of control
Experimental Group study group Levobupivacaine 0.5% 10ml (with maximal dose 2 mg /kg) Levobupivacaine 0.5% 10ml (with maximal dose 2 mg /kg) preoperative period with induction of anesthesia Ilioinguinal/ Iliohypogastric (ILI/IHG) group :The ultrasound linear probe (Sonosite,M Turbo-C,Bothell,WA,USA) was placed over the anterior superior iliac spine with the superior margin of the transducer pointed directly in an oblique plane toward the umbilicus. The iliohypogastric nerve was seen medial to the ilioinguinal nerve. The overlying skin was prepared with antiseptic solution and 21 gauge 120mm Locoplex Sono Tap cannula was advanced using an in-plane approach from a point just below the inferior border of the transducer toward the ilioinguinal nerve as it lies within the facial plane between the internal abdominal oblique and transverse abdominis muscles. Levobupivacaine 0.5% 10ml (with maximal dose 2 mg /kg) was injected. 50
Control Group TAP block Levobupivacaine 0.5% 25ml (with maximal dose 2 mg /kg) preoperative or with induction of anesthesia The injection site was indefined between the aponeurosis of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. Levobupivacaine 0.5% 25ml (with maximal dose 2 mg /kg) was injected with intermittent aspiration and the correct placement of the needle was confirmed by expansion of the LA solution as a dark shadow between the aponeurosis of the internal abdominal oblique (which moved anteriorly) and the transversus abdominis muscles pushing the muscle deeper. 50 Active-Treatment of Control Group

OUTCOMES
Type of outcome Outcome Timepoint(s) at which outcome measured
Primary Outcome Pain will be assessed at rest by VAS presented as a100-mm horizontal line on which the patient's pain intensity will be graded from 0 (without pain) to 100 (intolerable pain) before discharge from the PACU, at 4,8,12 and 24 hours post-operative. preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative
Secondary Outcome 1-Demographic data for each patient will be recorded preoperatively. 2-Hemodynamic data; mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) will be recorded every 5 minutes in first 20 minutes then data will be recorded every 30 minutes till the end of the operation. 3-Peripheral oxygen saturation (Spo2) will be recorded before anesthesia and every 5 minutes. 4-Cumulative dose of morphine consumption in the PACU and during the first 24 hours post-operative will be recorded. 5-Incidence of urine retention and postoperative nausea and vomiting will be documented. preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative
