Postoperative Effects of TAP Block Versus QLB Type 2 Block

This study compares analgesic effectiveness of transversus abdominis plane block and quadratus lumborum block type 2 in open hernia repair surgery. All of the patients will receive routine intravenous analgesic regimen. In addition to that one-third of the patients will receive transversus abdominis plane block, one-third will receive quadratus lumborum block type 2. One-third of the patients will not receive any blocks and will constitute the control group
