Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the duration of analgesia between Transversus Abdominis Plane block and Transversalis Fascia Plane block in unilateral inguinal hernia surgical repair.Timepoint: Time interval from administration of block to the point when visual analogue score more than 3—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the pain severity between Transversus Abdominis Plane block and Transversalis Fascia plane block in unilateral inguinal hernia surgical repair. Timepoint: Visual analogue score of 0 for no pain and score 10 for worst pain measured every 2nd hourly till 24 hours and every 6th hourly till 48 hours;To compare patient satisfaction between Transversus Abdominis Plane block and Transversalis Fascia Plane block in unilateral inguinal hernia surgical repair.Timepoint: Likert scale of 1 for very dissatisfied and score 5 for very satisfied measured every 2nd hourly till 24 hours and every 6th hourly till 48 hours—
