The Effect of Different Volumes of Ilioinguinal-Iliohypogastric Nerve Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Inguinal Hernia Surgery

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of different volumes of local anesthetics, administered at the same total dose, for ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (II/IH) nerve blocks in patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair. The investigators aim to determine whether varying the injectate volume-while keeping the total drug amount constant-influences the quality and duration of postoperative analgesia. By monitoring pain scores and opioid consumption, this research seeks to identify the optimal volume-to-dose ratio for enhancing patient recovery and pain management following inguinal surgery.
