|---|---|
| Study design | Randomised controlled trial |
| Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial |
| Scientific title | |
| Study objectives | Is infiltration of the operative wound with local anaesthetic as effective as an inguinal nerve block? |
| Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Surgery: Open inguinal herniorrhaphy |
| Intervention | We will audit the use of local anaesthetic in an ilioinguinal nerve block as a local anaesthetic for pain at the end of inguinal hernia, and the alternative technique of instilling local anaesthetic into the operative field at the end of surgery. |
| Intervention type | Procedure/Surgery |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
To obtain objective information of pain relief after hernia surgery by instilling local anaesthetic and to compare the results with ilioinguinal nerve blockade. |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
