Summary

A newly developed technique of TAP block solely performed by surgeons will be used for postoperative pain relief following laparoscopic total extra peritoneal (TEP) Inguinal hernia repair. Our alternative hypothesis is that laparoscopic-assisted TAP block is better than the periportal wound infiltration in controlling the postoperative pain.

Conditions

  • Laparoscopic TAP Block in TEP Inguinal Hernia Repair.

Interventions

DRUG

TAP Block Group

Transversus Abdominus Plane (TAP) block: Bupivacaine (30 ml of 0.25%)is injected between internal oblique and transveralis facia. The location of needle and the bleb that is formed after the injection is inspected under diect laparoscopic vision.

DRUG

Peri-Portal Block Group
