ABSTRACT
Ilioinguinal (II) and iliohypogastric (IH) nerve blocks are often performed to provide intra- andpostoperative analgesia for hernia repair in children and adults. Several techniques are describedin the literature. Recently an ultrasound guided technique for II and IH nerve blocks were describedin the international journals. The block success rates are variable specially for using anatomicallandmark blind techniques. In the present study, the anatomical variations in course of the II andIH nerves are described. Knowledge of the course of these nerves in the inguinal region, and anunderstanding of variations seen in their topography, can decrease the incidence of postoperativecomplications and adverse effects. Ultrasound guidance of block performance will shorten the time,reduce the number of needle passes and shorten the block onset time. Blocks may be performedusing lower local anesthetic doses.
