Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 126 inguinal hernia repairs. The patients were allocated to one of two groups: an ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block group (IHNB group, n = 63) and spinal anesthesia group (SA group, n = 63). We recorded information about perioperative and postoperative parameters. Results: There were statistically significant decreases in both mean arterial pressure and pulse rate in the SA group (P < 0.001). None of the patients in the IHNB group required recovery room care. Patients in the IHNB group initiated oral intake (0.31 +/- 0.1 h) more quickly than patients in the-SA group (5.74 +/- 0.1 h) (P < 0.001). The time-to-home readiness was significantly lower (14.1 +/- 1.5h) in group IHNB, compared with group SA (42.8 +/- 5.3h) (P < 0.001). First rescue analgesic time postoperatively was 3.30 +/- 0.2 hours in group SA and 2.7 +/- 0.13 hours in group IHNB (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of IHNB for patients undergoing hemiorrhaphy resulted in a shorter time-to-home readiness, quicker oral intake post surgery, and no need for recovery room care, when compared with the use of SA.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGeneral & internal medicineSpinal anesthesiaLlioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve blockHerniorrhaphyChildrenLocal-anesthesiaHernia repairTreatment outcomeSurgical procedures, electiveRetrospective studiesMiddle agedMaleHypogastric plexusHumansHernia, inguinalFollow-up studiesFemaleAutonomic nerve blockAnesthetics, localAnesthesia, spinalAged, 80 and overAgedAdultArticle0002413144000192-s2.0-33644872521485199116466122Medicine, general & internalAbdominal Muscles; Bupivacaine; Postoperative Nausea and VomitingLocal anesthetic agentTreatment outcomeMiddle agedMethodologyInguinal herniaHypogastric plexusFollow upComparative studyStatistical significanceSpinal anesthesiaRetrospective studyRecovery roomPulse ratePostoperative periodNerve blockMaleMajor clinical studyIntermethod comparisonInguinal herniaIlioinguinal iliohypogastric nerve blockHumanHerniorrhaphyFemaleElective surgeryArticleArterial pressureAnalgesiaAgedAdultAdolescent
