Open repair of Inguinal Hernia done under Local Anesthesia: Results of one year follow-up
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Inguinal hernia is a common condition requiring surgical repair, which is conventionally performed under general or regional anesthesia. The area of open repair is usually limited and hence amenable under local anesthesia (LA) too. LA is a safer and has fewer complications, but there is a possibility of intraoperative discomfort to the patient. This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of LA for open repair of inguinal hernia. We studied 72 cases of open surgical repair of inguinal hernia done under LA. All vital parameters were monitored; intraoperative discomfort and the efficacy of repair were evaluated till one year. No patient had any intraoperative complications. 83 % of patients had no intraoperative pain. Average intra op pain was 11 on VAS, and 2.7 % required revision surgery. LA is a safe and effective option in open surgery for repair of inguinal hernia.
