The hernioplasty in children is an outpatient procedure, and the possibility of postoperative analgesia with fewer systemic adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting make the tramadol infiltration a technique of interest. There is controversy about its effectiveness. The local effect of tramadol in hernioplasty was also studied by researchers with some better postoperative analgesia than with local anestetic . There are few studies with administration of tramadol for hernioplasty, Which led to the interest in this study.
