Abstract
Nerve blocks in inguinal hernia repair will provide analgesia and lessen the requirement of iv. analgesics thereby minimizing side effects and improve VAS score. Materials and Method: The SA block were administered using standard technique. Patient were divided into three groups. Group T: Tap block using ultrasound. Group I: Ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block using ultrasound. Group L: Infiltration of incision site. VAS scores and hemodynamics were assessed at different time interval. Results: The comparison of Mean among Three group-I, L and T of hemodynamic parameters were found not Significant and VAS score were found Significant. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks provided better post-operative pain relief than ultrasound-guided TAP block and wound infiltration at the proposed site of incision.
