No Opioids vs. Minimal Opioids Following Inguinal Hernia Repair

Postoperative PainInguinal Hernia

The investigators hypothesize that not prescribing opioids after uncomplicated, outpatient IHR will be non-inferior to prescribing opioids (5 tablets of Oxycodone, 5mg; or surgeon preference for intolerance) with respect to requests for opioid refills. Additionally, the investigators believe there will be no significant difference in postoperative readmission for pain quality of life at 30 days in either group.

A Pilot Study of Local Anesthesia for Inguinal Hernia Surgery in Older Adults

Inguinal HerniaAnesthesia1 more

Inguinal hernia repair-the most common general surgery operation in the U.S.-provides a unique opportunity to improve outcomes for older patients by changing surgical practice. Nearly 80% of inguinal hernia operations are performed under general anesthesia versus 15-20% using local anesthesia, despite the absence of evidence for superiority. The choice of anesthesia has particular implications for older adults because they face substantial short- and long-term risk of cognitive and physical decline after exposure to general anesthesia. Consequently, the American College of Surgeons and the American Geriatrics Society have identified a critical need in surgery: determining which operations have better outcomes when performed under local rather than general anesthesia. Currently, the evidence for choosing an anesthesia technique for inguinal hernia repair in older adults is inconclusive. Several small randomized trials and cohort studies have suggested that using local anesthesia for hernia repair reduces morbidity by one-third, unplanned readmissions by 20%, and operative time and costs by 15% while other studies showed no significant differences. However, there are significant flaws in these studies that severely limit their applicability to older adults: (1) They mainly focused on younger patients with limited comorbidity burden, largely ignoring individuals aged 65 years and older, (2) They did not adequately examine the effects of general anesthesia on cognitive function and quality of life for older adults and their caregivers, (3) They did not consult with stakeholders to identify outcomes relevant to those groups. The current study aims to address these limitations to determine the ideal anesthesia modality for inguinal hernia repair.

Surgical Outcomes Following Neurectomy Based Upon Response to Local Anesthetic Injection in Chronic...

The management of chronic pain after inguinal hernia surgery presents unique challenges. Ilioinguinal nerve blocks are often used in the initial treatment of this disease. This can often be followed by surgery, including neurectomy and/or hernia mesh removal. In an effort to identify preoperative predictors of postoperative outcomes following these surgical interventions the investigators devised a study to prospectively evaluate and correlate a patients pre-operative response to an ilioinguinal nerve block with their post-operative outcomes following surgery for chronic groin pain after inguinal hernia surgery.

HerniaInguinal

The present study will be undertaken to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of 0.25% bupivacaine and 0.5% bupivacaine for unilateral ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric nerve block after open inguinal hernia repair. Primary outcome: The time to first request for rescue analgesia. Secondary outcome: The post-operative pain in the form of NRS scores at rest & during movement at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 hours post-procedure. The total 24 hour opioid consumption. The incidence of complication related to nerve block (urinary retention, hematoma, hypotension and arrhythmia). Patient satisfaction

Inguinal Hernia RepairPost Operative Pain

The study is prospective and double blind. In the clinic, patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery that meet the criteria for inclusion into the study and agreed to participate in the study will be randomized into two groups. In the first group of patients will receive Nitrous Oxide and In the second group of patients will receive oxygen during the general anesthesia.

Pre-operative Withdrawal of Aspirin in Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

Inguinal Hernia

This study aims to assess the need to stop Aspirin before elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. It will consist of 2 arms: patients who continue to take Aspirin perioperatively and patients who stop Aspirin 5-7 days before the surgery.

To Compare the Skin Incision Made by the Electrocautery and Scalpel in Inguinal Hernia Repair

Post-operative PainAcute

The Groin hernia repair is a commonly performed general surgery procedure in both adults and children with inguinal hernias constituting more than 95% of all groin hernia repairs. Inguinal hernia repair is a commonly performed surgical procedure in our part of the world and is one of the common cause of hospital admission from the emergency or out patient department. Traditionally, surgical skin incisions have been made with surgical scalpel while modern method of making incisions with electrocautery had made it more sharp, precise and less time consuming. The cases of inguinal hernia are being managed in our center, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Generally, these patients are seen by the residents and supervised by the faculties in the emergency and in OPD and later if required admitted in the wards. Clinical examination and imaging are done for the diagnosis . Then severity assessment is performed and the management is done accordingly. The proposed study will be a hospital based comparative study and aims to observe the overview of the surgical management of OPD based day care surgery of inguinal hernia and also to observe whether the surgical incision is being performed with scalpel or electrocautery. The patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria are selected for the study. Sample will be selected by non-probability (convenience) method and study variables will be recorded in proforma. Statistical analysis will be done using SPSS version 23. Results obtained from the study will be reviewed and discussed with published literature.
