Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pain, Postoperative
Interventions
Procedure: Spinal Anesthesia
Procedure: Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
Procedure: Ilioinguinal Nerve Block
Device: 25G Quincke needle
Device: Echogenic Needle with 30° bevel
Registration Number
NCT02375100
Lead Sponsor
Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital
Brief Summary

This study compares efficacy of transversus abdominis plane block and ilioinguinal nerve block for postoperative pain in patients undergoing inguinal herniorraphy with spinal anesthesia. One-third of the patients will receive standard postoperative pain regimen(control group), one-third will receive a transversus abdominis plane block (with ultrasound guidance) and the last group will receive an ilioinguinal nerve block(with ultrasound guidance) in addition to standard postoperative pain regimen. This study is a Randomized prospective open-label controlled study.
