Summary

An inguinal hernia is one of the most common disorders requiring surgical repair in pediatrics. The effective treatment of postoperative pain in infants and children is challenging. Although the use of opioid analgesics is generally safe, adverse effects occur frequently, so the use of alternative analgesic techniques when available to improve postoperative analgesia while limiting opioid-related adverse effects, that is why there is an increase in the use of regional anesthetic techniques in infants and children.
