Abstract

Background and objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of inguinal hernia repair using local anaesthesia guided by ultrasound. To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided local anaesthesia against spinal anaesthesia for inguinal hernia repair, specifically in terms of postoperative discomfort, complications, and length of hospital stay. Method: The study encompassed a total of 60 instances of inguinal hernia. Upon admission to the hospital, a comprehensive medical history was obtained and a meticulous clinical examination was conducted. Every case had a set of routine investigations, which included testing for haemoglobin, total leukocyte count, differential leukocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, random blood sugar, renal function, chest X-ray, and EKG. Result: The mean age in group A was 48.09 and 43.56 for group B. pain in group A was moderate for 23 individuals and 13 subjects in group B. Post-operative complications were wound sepsis, testicular pain for group A and sepsis and urinary retention in group B. mean of analgesic dose in group A is 3.1 and 4.35 in group B. VAS Score showed 0.035 significance in study.
