Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the postoperative pain of patients who underwent Inguinal Hernia surgery and the differences between 3 different postoperative nerve block techniques on postoperative pain. It will be investigated which block has the higher effect on postoperative pain and can be used to control the patient's pain.

Conditions

Postoperative Pain

Keywords

Pain, Postoperative; Hernia, Inguinal; erector spinae plane block; retrolaminar block; Ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  The patient's Pain Score (VAS Scale) will be evaluated at the 0th hour, 4th hour, 12th hour and 24th hour postoperatively. VAS scale; 0: no pain, 10: very severe, unbearable pain. For postoperative patient monitoring, a physician who does not know the type of block applied will evaluate the patients.

  24 Hours

Study Arms (3)

Grup I-İlioinguinal/İliohipogastrik Nerve Block

Ilioinguinal/Iliohypogastric nerve block will be applied under ultrasound guidance. Pain measurements were evaluated 24 hours after surgery. Pain measurement will be evaluated according to the VAS scale.

Grup II-Erektör Spine Nerve Block

Erector spine plane block will be applied under ultrasound guidance. Pain measurements were evaluated 24 hours after surgery. Pain measurement will be evaluated according to the VAS scale.

Grup III-Retrolaminer Nerve Block

Retrolaminar block will be applied under ultrasound guidance. Pain measurements were evaluated 24 hours after surgery. Pain measurement will be evaluated according to the VAS scale.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 60 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

159 patients will be included in the study. However, since our study is a follow-up study, a total of 174 patients will be included in the study with a loss prediction of 10%, taking into account the losses. Patients will between the ages of 18-60, who are planned for elective unilateral inguinal hernia surgery by the General Surgery clinic, will be included in the study.

You may qualify if:

• Having ASA 1 and 2 risk scores
• Primary unilateral Inguinal Hernia operation was performed
• Patients between the ages of 18-60

You may not qualify if:

• Patients with ASA risk score of 3 and above
• Patients who underwent Recurrent Inguinal Hernia operation
• Patients who underwent Bilateral Inguinal Hernia surgery
• Pregnant Patients
• Those with Neuromuscular Disease
• Patients with Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus
• Patients who do not accept the study
• Patients with Cognitive Dysfunction
• Patients with a history of Local Anesthetic Drug Toxicity
• Patients with a History of Cerebrovascular Disease
• Patients with Neurological Dysfunction
• Patients with Bleeding Diathesis
• Patients with spinal deformity
