Measure
Ropivacaine Group
Patients in this group will receive ropivacaine via the wound catheter for the first 48hrs after surgery Wound catheter: 19 gauge fenestrated wound catheter inserted into the fascial planes of the surgical site prior to skin closure with a separate exit site.
Normal Saline Group
Will receive an infusion of normal saline for 48hrs post-operatively via the wound catheter. wound catheter: 19 gauge fenestrated wound catheter will be inserted into the fascial planes of the surgical site prior to wound closure

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 hours post-operatively

Observational FLACC pain intensity assessment tool that consists of observing the Faces Legs Activity Cry Consolability (FLACC) by the bedside nursing staff. This pain assessment tool is validated in non-verbal children and children at 7 years and younger. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 10, where 0 represents no pain which is a better outcome.
