Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Postoperative pain management after inguinal hernia repair: lornoxicam versus tramadol.
In this randomized and prospective study, we compared the analgesic effects of lornoxicam and tramadol in patients after inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ Lornoxicam 8 mg i.v. and b.i.d., tramadol 1 mg/kg at the end of the surgery and every 6 h up to 24 h after inguinal hernia repair provided rapid and effective analgesia and was well tolerated.
