Objective: To compare the time for first analgesic requirement after local wound infiltration with tramadol and bupivacaine in pediatric inguinal herniotomy. Materials and Methods: A total of 130 children aged 4 to 12 years who underwent inguinal herniotomy were included in this randomized comparative study. The study was conducted in anesthesiology unit of a tertiary care center in Qatar from Nov-2020 to July-2021. Patients in Group T received wound infiltration by Inj. Tramadol 2 mg/kg diluted in 10cc distilled water while patients in Group B received Inj. Bupivacaine 1mg/kg diluted in 10 cc distilled water. Postoperatively Pain score using Wong Baker Faces Scale was noted from ½ hour to 6 hours after surgery. Time of first rescue analgesia was noted. Results: The mean age was 7.98±2.40 years in group B versus 7.49±2.58 years in group T (p-value 0.26). There were 42 (64.6%) in group B versus 45 (69.2%) in group T (p-value 0.93). Mean surgery duration was 46.66±4.73 minutes in group T and 45.50±4.37 minutes in group B. The Wong-Baker pain score at different time intervals was significantly lower in group T in comparison to group B. Time of first analgesia requirement was 6.87±0.76 hours in group P versus 5.67±0.97 hours in group P, this duration was significantly prolonged in group T with p-value <0.001. Conclusion: Local wound infiltration with tramadol provides a longer time for first analgesic requirement as compared to the bupivacaine in children undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Keywords: Inguinal hernia, wound infiltration, tramadol, bupivacaine, post-operative pain.

Abstract Background Postoperative analgesia can be provided by a multimodal approach includes opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol infusion and regional anesthetic techniques such as local infiltration or nerve blocks. In contrast to opioids, local anesthetics can be administered safely and in recent guidelines regional anesthesia is accepted as the cornerstone of postoperative pain relief in the pediatric patients. Objective Compare the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of local wound infiltration of bupivacaine against bupivacaine administered caudally in pediatric patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair. Patients and methods This study was carried out in Ain Shams University hospitals on 40 pediatric patients of both sexes aged from 6 months to 7 years belonging to ASA I or II undergoing elective unilateral inguinal hernia repair. They were randomly allocated into two groups: group C receiving caudal block, group L receiving local wound infiltration. Hemodynamic changes, postoperative pain score using FLACC pain score, postoperative analgesia and complications were recorded. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups as regard demographic data or hemodynamic variables. Pain score shows no statically significant differences between two groups in the first hour. But statistically significant decrease in FLACC score after (1, 2 and 3 hours) in group C in comparison with group L.decreased significantly in group C after 1 hour postoperative. Duration of analgesia longer in group C with no significant difference in total amount of postoperative analgesia. There was significant increase in incidence in complications in group C than group L Conclusion Caudal block provides better and longer analgesia but requires experience and may lead to complications. In contrast, wound infiltration is simple without significant side effects. Therefore, local wound infiltration may be a preferred technique for producing postoperative analgesia in pediatric inguinal hernia repair.

The Difference

AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate anesthesia and recovery profile in pediatric patients after inguinal hernia repair with caudal block or local wound infiltration.MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this prospective interventional clinical study, the anesthesia and recovery profile was assessed in sixty pediatric patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Enrolled children were randomly assigned to either Group Caudal or Group Local infiltration. For caudal blocks, Caudal Group received 1 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine; Local Infiltration Group received 0.2 ml/kg 0.25% bupivacaine. Investigator who was blinded to group allocation provided postoperative care and assessments. Postoperative pain was assessed. Motor functions and sedation were assessed as well.RESULTS: The two groups did not differ in terms of patient characteristic data and surgical profiles and there weren’t any hemodynamic changes between groups. Regarding the difference between groups for analgesic requirement there were two major points - on one hand it was statistically significant p < 0.05 whereas on the other hand time to first analgesic administration was not statistically significant p = 0.40. There were significant differences in the incidence of adverse effects in caudal and local group including: vomiting, delirium and urinary retention.CONCLUSIONS: Between children undergoing inguinal hernia repair, local wound infiltration insures safety and satisfactory analgesia for surgery. Compared to caudal block it is not overwhelming. Caudal block provides longer analgesia, however complications are rather common.

Analgesic Requirement

Given the rising rate of opioid-related adverse drug events during postsurgical pain management, a nonpharmacologic therapy that could decrease analgesic medication requirements would be of immense value. We designed a prospective, placebo-and-randomized controlled trial to assess the clinical effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TEAS) on the postoperative patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) requirement for morphine, as well as side effects and recovery profile after inguinal hernia repair. Seventy-one subjects undergoing inguinal hernia repair with a standardized anesthetic technique were randomly assigned to one of three analgesic treatment regimens: PCA + TEAS (n = 24); PCA + sham-TEAS (no electrical stimulation) (n = 24), and PCA only (n = 23). The postoperative PCA requirement, pain scores, opioid-related side effects, and blood cortisol levels were recorded. TEAS treatment resulted in a twofold decrease in the analgesic requirement and decreased pain level reported by the patients. In addition, a significant reduction of cortisol level was reported in the TEAS group at 24 h postoperatively compared to the sham and control groups. We conclude that TEAS is a safe and effective option for reducing analgesic consumption and postoperative pain following inguinal hernia repair.

Objective: To compare the results of Inguinal Hernia repair using commonly employed methods of Bassini’s and Mesh repair. Methodology: This study included 90 cases of hernia repair ranging over a period of 18 months from October 2008 to Mar 2010 at Social Security Hospital Lahore. All the cases were done by the consultants and senior surgeons. The methods of repair included Bassini’s and Hernioplasty with Prosthetic mesh. Results: Out of 90 patients, 88 were males (97.78%) and 02 were females (2.22%). Male – female ratio 45 : 1. The peak incidence was found in 3rd and 4th decades of life. 56(62.22%) had Rt.sided Inguinal hernia, 29 (32.22%) had Lt. sided and 5(5.56%) had bilateral Inguinal hernia. 72 patients (80%) had Indirect Inguinal hernia, 17 (18.89%) had direct inguinal hernia while 1(1.11%) had both types. All the cases were done under Spinal anaesthesia. The Bassini’s repair was performed in 50% cases, using non-absorble no. 1 Prolene interrupted suturing (Group- A). In the Group – B, 50% cases underwent Hernioplasty with prosthetic prolene mesh 6x11 cms. Post-operative follow up was done for a period of 01 year. In the group- A, 3 (6.67%) patients had recurrence and 3 (6.67%) had infection of the wound. In group – B, 01 patient (2.22%) got infected and none of the cases did not get recurrence over a period of 01 year. Conclusions: Hernioplasty with prosthetic mesh is a better treatment modality for inguinal hernia repair to get a low recurrence rate.

Abstract Background Early postoperative ambulation and reduction of hospital stay necessitate efficient postoperative analgesia. Quadrates Lumborum Block (QLB) has been described to provide adequate postoperative analgesia after abdominal surgery. This randomized comparative trial was designed to compare the duration of analgesia provided by two different QLB approaches; the posterior QLB (QLB-2) and transmuscular QLB (QLB-3) in patients undergoing surgical repair of unilateral inguinal hernia. Methods Forty patients, aged from 18 to 50 years, ASA physical status I or II, scheduled for unilateral inguinal hernia repair were enrolled. At the end of the surgical procedure and before recovery from general anesthesia, Patients were randomly assigned into two groups to receive either posterior QLB (Group QLB-2) or transmuscular QLB (Group QLB-3) using 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine. Duration of analgesia, postoperative VAS and postoperative opioid consumption were recorded. Results Duration of block was significantly longer in QLB-3 group when compared to QLB-2 group (20.1 + 6.2 h versus 12.0 + 4.8 respectively) with P value of < 0.001. A statistically significant lower VAS score was recorded in QLB-3 group immediately and 12 h postoperative. QLB-3 group showed a statistically significant delayed time of first analgesic request and less postoperative morphine consumption with P value of < 0.001 and 0.001 respectively. Conclusions Ultrasound guided postsurgical transmuscular approach of QLB (QLB-3) using 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine produces more postoperative analgesic effect and less postoperative opioid consumption when compared to posterior QLB approach (QLB-2) in patients underwent unilateral inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia.

Abstract Background Hernia is a common problem of the modern world with an incidence ranging from 5%-7%. Of all groin hernias, around 75% are inguinal hernias. Recently with advancement in laparoscopy, endoscopic repairs seem to offer better quality of life, decreasing hospital stay and early return to work. Aim of the Work To compare between self fixating mesh and non self fixating mesh in laproscopic inguinal hernia repair transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach as regards intraoperative time, complications, postoperative pain, return to normal activity and incidence of recurrence. Patients and Methods This study was conducted on 30 adult patients presenting with inguinal hernias. They were divided into 2 equal groups of 15 patients each. The first group (A): includes fifteen patients and was operated upon by a Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernioplasty technique using self -gripping (SGM group) (Parietex ProGrip] Laparoscopic (PPL) meshes), while the second group (B): includes fifteen patients and were operated upon by a Laparoscopic transabdominal pre-peritoneal inguinal hernioplasty technique with non-self fixating mesh. Results The postoperative pain assessment at 24 hours and 4 weeks shows that the mean VAS score for GROUP A was (3.70 ± 1.72) and for GROUP B (3.90 ± 1.25) while after 1 month duration follow up, the mean VAS score was (1.25 ± 0.79) for Group A and (1.20 ± 0.77) for Group B with no difference between the two groups confirming the atraumatic nature of the self gripping mesh. Conclusion After this comparative study, both mesh fixation with absorpable tacks and fixation using SGM approaches are similarly effective in terms of operative time, the incidence of recurrence, complications and chronic pain coinciding with all the available literature.

Abstract Aims Robotic inguinal hernia repair (RIHR) is considered to improve surgical outcomes in patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery. The objective is to present a systematic review of RIHR compared to laparoscopic repair (LIHR). Methods A systematic review of comparative studies until January 2021 published on Embase, Medline, PubMed, PubMed Central and Cochrane databases reporting the surgical outcomes in patients undergoing RIHR versus LIHR was performed. Results A total of 12565 patients in 10 comparative studies were included. In the random effects model analysis using the statistical software Review Manager, statistically the RIHR prolonged the duration of operation (Standardized mean difference (SMD), 3.33; z = 5.84; P = 0.00001) but the length of stay (SMD, -0.8; z = 0.66; P = 0.51) and post-operative pain score (SMD, -0.47; z = 1.19; P = 0.24) were similar in both groups. In addition, the recurrence rate was similar in both groups (p = 0.92). The incidence of post-operative complications (OR 1.67; 95% CI, 1.14, 2.45; z = 2.64; P = 0.008) and chronic groin pain (OR 2.14; 95% CI, 0.97, 4.72; z = 1.88; P = 0.06) was higher in RIHR group. Conclusion RIHR is feasible and safe, but the duration of operation is significantly longer with equivocal other variables such as stay and pain score. There was higher incidence of post-operative morbidity and chronic groin pain as well. Major multi-center randomized controlled trial is mandatory to assess the long terms outcomes and cost effectiveness before the routine use of RIHR.

Background: Hernias are among the oldest known afflictions of human kind and elective inguinal hernia repair is commonly performed operation in general surgery. General or spinal anesthesia are still the most common types of anesthesia being used in India. Studies comparing the recovery profiles of local, general and regional anesthesia show that local anesthesia is ideal for day care surgery.Methods: This study had included 60 cases of male single sided reducible indirect long standing (more than 5 years) inguinal hernia. Patients were divided randomly into two groups of 30 each named Group A and Group B. Patients in group A were subjected to inguinal hernia mesh repair under local anesthesia and patients in group B were subjected to inguinal hernia mesh repair under spinal anesthesia. Tension free Lichtenstein hernioplasty was done in both groups.Results: Time taken in local anesthesia is higher than spinal anesthesia. Intraoperative pain is higher in local anesthesia than spinal anesthesia. There is no difference on post-operative pain. Post-operative complications are more in spinal anesthesia group.Conclusions: Patient selection is very important and patient with long history should be avoided under local anesthesia.
