Intervention(s)
Participants are randomised to one of two groups in a 1:1 ratio using computer generated block randomisation.

Intervention group: Participants are given ropivacaine at a total dose of 50 ml, 30 ml of which is injected locally and 20 ml into the peritoneum before the end of operation as pre-emptive analgesia.

Control group: Participants are given a fluid injection of saline at total of 50 ml, 30 ml of which is injected locally and 20 ml into the peritoneum before the end of operation.

Participants in both groups are assessed for side-effects and pain levels 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-operatively.
Primary Outcome(s)
Pain is measured using the visual analogue score at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-operatively.
Secondary Outcome(s)
1. Time in hours to get out of bed after operation is measured by nurse responsible for the patient at 8 and 12 hours post-operatively
2. Hospital stay in days is measured by nurse at time of discharge of the patient
3. Total Narcotic dose (Nalbuphine) is measured by nurse at 1 and 24 hours post-operatively
