Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)	Not specified
Study type	Not Specified
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	To obtain objective information of pain relief after hernia surgery by instilling local anaesthetic and to compare the results with ilioinguinal nerve blockade.
Secondary outcome measures	Not provided at time of registration
