Brief Summary
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. It is generally performed under regional anesthesia techniques, such as local anesthesia, peripheral nerve blocks, or neuraxial anesthesia (spinal or epidural anesthesia), or under general anesthesia. Despite various available analgesic regimens, numerous studies have demonstrated that postoperative pain control remains inadequate. Opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and analgesics are frequently used for postoperative pain management. However, these medications are associated with uncertain efficacy and undesirable side effects. Pain is a critical factor in the postoperative period, contributing to delayed ambulation and paralytic ileus, ultimately hindering early discharge.
