Surgeon-performed blocks yield equivalent analgesia to anaesthetist-performed ones; confirms equivalence and supports flexible staffing in pediatric groin surgery.
Does ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block performed by an anaesthetist improve postoperative analgesia compared to when performed by a surgeon in children undergoing groin surgery?
Ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blocks provide similar postoperative analgesia in children undergoing groin surgery whether performed percutaneously by an anaesthetist or under direct vision by a surgeon.
Trotter et al. (1995) studied this question.
