Abstract:Ultrasound-guided iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerve block in patients undergoing outpatient inguinal herniorrhaphy can be done as an aid to postoperative analgesia.
“…Currently, most inguinal herniorrhaphies are performed as outpatient surgery. Thus, the use of anesthetic techniques that allow adequate postoperative analgesia as well as earlier recovery and hospital discharge is necessary 20 . Other studies also have demonstrated shorter duration of analgesia in II and IH nerve block.…”
II and IH nerve block associated with surgical wound infiltration with 0.75% ropivacaine provides better postoperative analgesia and early hospital discharge in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia.
