• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This study compares efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block and ilioinguinal nerve block for postoperative pain in patients undergoing inguinal herniorraphy with spinal anesthesia. One-third of the patients will receive standard postoperative pain regimen(control group), one-third will receive a transversus abdominis plane block (with ultrasound guidance) and the last group will receive an ilioinguinal nerve block(with ultrasound guidance) in addition to standard postoperative pain regimen. This study is a Randomized prospective open-label controlled study.
