In both groups we activated with10 ml bupivacain25% before patient recovery then 10 ml bupivacain.125% each 6 hours. If patient still in pain 1gm perflgan injected. If patient still in pain 10 mg nalufine for 70 kg patient injected. we will record pulse, blood pressure and visual analogue scale at 0,6,12,24 and 36 hours postoperative. Also Occurrence of nausea and vomiting, Time of return of bowel movement, Time of discharage and amount of analgesia used will be recorded. Results, discution will be later.
