Inguinal Hernia Repair Under Local Anaesthesia
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Inguinal hernia repair is a common surgery performed under general, regional or local anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia (LA) has advantages over other types of anaesthesia. It is safe, economical with less postoperative complications. In spite of the advantages, it is not widely used probably because of the fear of intraoperative patient discomfort. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of LA for inguinal hernia surgery. We studied 80 cases of inguinal hernia repair performed under LA. Monitored anaesthesia care was given and intraoperative pain and postoperative complications were recorded. Ninety percent of patients had no intraoperative pain. Post operative pain was mild in 78 (97.5%) patients. None of the patient had nausea, vomiting, urinary retention or any other anesthesia related complications. LA is thus a safe option for hernia repair with minimal complications.
