Hernia Inguinal Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study on the Effectiveness of the Echoguided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block During Inguinal Hernia Repair Surgery
An prospective double blinded randomised trial,whether the use of an perioperative echoguided unilateral TAP block has an superior effect on postoperative pain after open hernia inguinal repair compared to wound infiltration with a long acting local anesthetic.
Hernia inguinal repair is the most common operation performed by general surgeons in the
Netherlands. On of the most common complications after hernia repair is postoperative and
chronic pain. Postoperative pain is an expected but undesirable effect after an operation,
which can result in an prolonged hospital stay or longer time to return to full normal daily
activities. There are indications that an insufficient treatment of postoperative pain is a
risk factor for persistent or chronic pain after open inguinal hernia repair. Chronic pain
is not uncommon after hernia repair, with an incidence of 11%.
The objective of this study is to determine, whether the use of an perioperative echo guided
unilateral TAP block has an superior effect on postoperative pain after open hernia inguinal
repair compared to wound infiltration with a long acting local anesthetic. There will be no
further analysis in this study regarding the incidence of open hernia inguinal repair and
chronic pain.
