Randomized double-blind trial reports post-herniorrhaphy groin pain in patients undergoing hernia repair under spinal anesthesia, highlighting chronic symptom prevention.
Pre-operative ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block (II-IHNB) has a proven role in lessening acute postoperative pain and opioid consumption following hernia repair. However, its role in preventing post-herniorrhaphy groin pain (PHGP) is still unknown. The current study aims to assess pre-operative II-IHNB's impact on PHGP three and six months after open inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia.
