Summary

Postoperative pain management remains a critical area of concern in surgical practices, especially in procedures involving the lower abdomen and pelvis. Inguinal Hernia is considered among few surgeries that may lead to chronic pain. Spinal anesthesia is a commonly utilized modality because of its efficacy in pain control and rapid recovery. However, the addition of peripheral nerve blocks, such as the ilioinguinal nerve block, may provide enhanced pain relief and reduce opioid consumption postoperatively. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia alone compared to spinal anesthesia supplemented with ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypo-gastric nerve block in managing postoperative pain.
