Group C (Control group)
Patients will only receive bilateral SCPB with 45mg bupivacaine diluted with normal saline (18 mL; 9 mL on each side) after intubation and before surgical incision.
Group D (Dexmedetomidine group)
Patients will receive general anesthesia plus US guided Bilateral SCPB with 45mg bupivacaine diluted with normal saline to 16mL and 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine diluted with normal saline to 2mL (total volume, 18 mL; 9 mL on each side) after intubation and before surgical incision.
Group K (Ketamine group)
Patients will receive general anesthesia plus US guided Bilateral SCPB with 45mg bupivacaine diluted with normal saline to 16 mL and 1 mg/kg ketamine diluted with normal saline to 2 mL (total volume, 18 mL; 9 mL on each side) after intubation and before surgical incision.
