ABSTRACT
To evaluate the benefit of adding ilioinguinal block to local infiltration anaesthesia for intraoperative analgesia in inguinal hernia repair. We performed a singled blinded randomized study on 232 patients. They had inguinal hernia repair using proline Darn under local infiltration anaesthesia, with or without additional ilioinguinal block. Intra operative and three hour post operative pain was accessed using visual analogue pain scale. Pain during operation was better controlled in patient who had local infiltration anaesthesia with the addition of ilioinguinal block, showing significant P value of .0009. Similarly duration of operation was significantly shorter in these patients with the P value of .005. Combination of ilioinguinal blockade improves the intraoperative analgesia and shortens the duration of operation
