Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Comparing the analgesic effects of Anterior subcostal versus Posterior approach in ultrasound guided Quadratus Lumborum Block by using the Numeric Rating Scale.
: to compare the efficacy of Anterior subcostal versus Posterior approach in ultrasound guided Quadratus Lumborum Block by The Numeric rating scale (NRS) both resting and ambulatory which measures pain as felt by the patient every two hours for the first 24 hours then every six hours for the second day. the Numeric rating scale is a scale from 0 to 10 with '0' being lowest pain or no pain and '10' is the worst pain felt.
baseline
Comparing the analgesic effects of Anterior subcostal versus Posterior approach in ultrasound guided Quadratus Lumborum Block by using the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire.
to compare the efficacy of Anterior subcostal versus Posterior approach in ultrasound guided Quadratus Lumborum Block by the Revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire which is a set of questions answered by the patient to evaluate the patient's satisfaction and for quality improvement of pain management in hospitalized patients

Secondary Outcomes (1)
using the numeric rating scale to determine the effect of Quadratus Lumborum block in reducing the postoperative pain in patients undergoing nephrectomy surgery
