Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Efficacy of the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric block in the treatment of the postoperative pain of inguinal herniorrhaphy].
The ileoinguinal-ileohypogastric block (IHB) improves pain control in inguinal hernioplasty. ⋯ IHB decreases pain, delaying the need for a first dose of analgesic and improving patient comfort. Its use is therefore recommended for relief of postoperative pain.
