Abstract
Background and Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of employing ultrasound guidance for local anesthetic during inguinal hernia repair. To compare the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia vs ultrasound-guided local anesthesia in the context of inguinal hernia repair, with a focus on postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and discomfort.
Method: The research included sixty cases of inguinal hernia in total. A thorough medical history was taken and a thorough clinical examination was performed upon admission to the hospital. Routine examinations were performed on each case, including tests for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, haemoglobin, total and differential leukocyte counts, random blood sugar, renal function, chest X-ray, and EKG.
Result: Group A's mean age was 46.05, whereas group B's mean age was 41.24. Thirteen patients in group B and twenty-three persons in group A reported moderate pain. Group A experienced wound sepsis and testicular pain following the procedure, while group B experienced sepsis and urine retention. The average analgesic dosage for group A is 3.2, while group B's is 4.55. The study's VAS Score indicated 0.035 significance.
Conclusion: A new era in hernia surgery has been brought about by the use of Lichtenstein tension-free hernioplasty, which is performed under local anesthesia under ultrasound guidance, eliminating the possibility of major problems.
