Unilateral groin surgery in children: will the addition of an ultrasound‐guided ilioinguinal nerve block enhance the duration of analgesia of a single‐shot caudal block?

Abstract

The addition of an US-guided ilioinguinal nerve block to a single-shot caudal block decreases the severity of pain experienced by pediatric groin surgery patients. The decrease in pain scores were particularly pronounced in inguinal hernia repair patients.
