Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness ultrasound-guided dual transversus abdominis plane and ultrasound-guided Ilioinguinal/ Iliohypogastric nerve blocks on post operative analgesia in open inguinal hernia repair.Timepoint: Post operative analgesia will be assessed 4 hours after the nerve block procedure by visual analogue scale. (VAS, 0 : no pain, 10 : most severe pain ), scores at rest(VAS-R) and (at 4, 12, 24 and 48h) and at rest and during movement(VAS-M) (at 24, 48 h, 3 and 6 months). Pain at 3 and 6 months was also assessed by telephonic interview, using the DN4 questionnaire for neuropathic pain.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
