Effect of the Quadro-Iliac Plane Block on Quality of Recovery Following Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind, Multicenter Study

Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
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.

All patients will receive IV paracetamol (1 g, 3×1) and IV tenoxicam (20 mg, 2×1). Rescue analgesia (IV tramadol 1 mg/kg) will be administered if Numerical rating scale scores are ≥3. IV ondansetron (4 mg) will be given for nausea and vomiting.
Active_comparator: Quadro iliac plane block
All patients will receive IV paracetamol (1 g, 3×1) and IV tenoxicam (20 mg, 2×1). Rescue analgesia (IV tramadol 1 mg/kg) will be administered if Numerical rating scale scores are ≥3. IV ondansetron (4 mg) will be given for nausea and vomiting. Group Q patients will receive quadro iliac plane block in addition to standard analgesia.
