ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We evaluated the adequacy and feasibility of a tumescent solution containing lidocaine and bupivacaine for inguinal hernia repairs.METHODS:
The medical records of 146 consecutive inguinal hernia patients with 157 hernia repairs using the tumescent local anesthesia technique performed by a single surgeon between September 2009 and December 2013 were retrospectively reviewed.RESULTS:
The mean operation time (+/-standard deviation) and hospital stay were 64.5 +/- 17.6 minutes and 2.7 +/- 1.5 days. The postoperative complication rate was 17.8%. There were four cases of recurrences (2.5%) at a mean follow-up of 24 +/- 14 months.CONCLUSION:
Our results suggest that local anesthesia with the tumescent technique is an effective and safe modality for inguinal hernia repairs.
