INGUINAL NERVE BLOCK FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING INGUINAL HERNIOPLASTY
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 16
Abstract
Inguinal hernia repair is the most common elective surgical procedure performed under general, regional or local anesthesia. The advantages of day case surgery include greater patient satisfaction and reduced financial costs to the health service. Inguinal nerve blocks may be particularly helpful for patients with cardiovascular or respiratory disease, for whom there may be advantages in avoiding general anesthesia. The absence of post-operative sedation or drowsiness allows early ambulation and diminishes the requirement for recovery facilities with inguinal nerve block.
