Transversus abdominis plane block versus ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block with wound infiltration for postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernia surgery: A randomized clinical trial

Abstract

As a multimodal analgesic regimen, definitely both TAP block and IIIH block with wound infiltration have a supporting role in providing analgesia in the postoperative period for adult inguinal hernia repair. In this study, ultrasound-guided TAP block provided longer pain control postoperatively than IIIH block with WI after inguinal hernia repair. There were no complications attributed to the blocks in either of the group.
