A Pilot Study of Local Anesthesia for Inguinal Hernia Surgery in Older Adults
Summary: Inguinal hernia repair-the most common general surgery operation in the U.S.-provides a unique opportunity to improve outcomes for older patients by changing surgical practice. Nearly 80% of inguinal hernia operations are performed under general anesthesia versus 15-20% using local anesthesia, despite the absence of evidence for superiority. The choice of anesthesia has particular implications for...
Infrared Thermography for Prediction of Successful Erector Spinae Plane Block in Unilateral Inguinal Hernia Surgery in Paediatric Patients: A Prospective Observational Study
Summary: This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of temperature change (ΔT) measurements using infrared thermography to predict a successful erector spinae plane block in pediatric patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia.
Dexmedetomidine Versus Dexamethasone as Adjuvants to Bupivacaine in Caudal Epidural Block for Pediatrics Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Surgery: A Comparative Prospective Double-Blind Randomized Clinical Trial
Summary: The goal of This prospective, randomized, double-blind comparative study is to compare the efficacy of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuvants to bupivacaine 0.125% in caudal epidural block for pediatrics undergoing inguinal hernia surgery, aged 2-6 years. of Both sex.
Effect of the Quadro-Iliac Plane Block on Quality of Recovery Following Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind, Multicenter Study
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 rema...
Comparison of the Postoperative Analgesic Efficacy of Quadratus Lumborum Block and Transversalis Fascia Block in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Surgery
Summary: It is planned to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the Transversalis Fascia Plane Block and the anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block in elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgeries.
Analgesic Effect of Fascia Transversalis Block Versus Transversus Abdominal Plane Block in Children Undergoing Open Inguinal Hernia Surgery. A Randomized Comparative Trial.
Summary: Fascia transversalis block in pediatrics undergoing inguinal surgical repair may be simple technique and may give longer effect in reduction of post-operative pain in comparison to transversus abdominis plane block.
