Brief summary
Laparoscopic hernioplasty is associated with lesser postoperative pain and quick return to work. TAP block is the gold standard technique in this type of hernioplasty. Our aim is to compare TAP block with a novel local infiltration technique that uses direct laparoscopical vision.
Detailed description
Laparoscopic hernioplasty is associated with lesser postoperative pain and quick return to work. TAP block is the gold standard technique in this type of hernioplasty. Our aim is to compare TAP block with a novel local infiltration technique that uses direct laparoscopical vision. Patients will be randomized into two arms of intervention that will be compared by a blind analysis. Primary outcomes will be postoperative pain evaluated systematically until 30 days postoperative, and analgesic consumption.
