Brief Summary:
Postoperative pain management remains a critical area of concern in surgical practices, especially in procedures involving the lower abdomen and pelvis. Inguinal Hernia is considered among few surgeries that may lead to chronic pain. Spinal anesthesia is a commonly utilized modality because of its efficacy in pain control and rapid recovery. However, the addition of peripheral nerve blocks, such as the ilioinguinal nerve block, may provide enhanced pain relief and reduce opioid consumption postoperatively. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia alone compared to spinal anesthesia supplemented with ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypo-gastric nerve block in managing postoperative pain.
Detailed Description:
Objectives
1. Primary Objective: To compare the postoperative pain scores (using a standardized numerical rating scale) between patients receiving spinal anesthesia alone and those receiving spinal anesthesia with ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal nerve block.
2. Secondary Objectives:
* To assess the total opioid consumption in the first 24 hours post-surgery.
* To evaluate the time to first analgesic request postoperatively.
* Patient Satisfaction score post-op \>\> at rest , coughing , ambulation ( LEKENT SCORE ) .
Hypotheses
* Hypothesis 1: Patients receiving spinal anesthesia with an ilioinguinal nerve block will experience significantly lower postoperative pain scores compared to those receiving spinal anesthesia alone.
* Hypothesis 2: Patients receiving spinal anesthesia with an ilioinguinal nerve block will require less opioid medication in the first 24 hours post-surgery.
