Abstract
BACKGROUND Transversus abdominis plane block is becoming more common as part of multimodal analgesia for post-abdominal operation pain relief. This study compared the analgesic effects of adding dexmedetomidine to levobupivacaine (transversus abdominis plane) block in elderly patients undergoing inguinal hernia surgery to adding fentanyl. METHODS Overall, 90 elderly patients with a simple inguinal hernia repair were randomly assigned to one of three groups. After spinal anaesthesia, an ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block was performed. Transversus abdominis plane block was accomplished with 0.25% levobupivacaine + 0.9% normal saline in Group L (n = 30) (20mL). Transversus abdominis plane block was accomplished with 0.25% levobupivacaine + 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine in Group D (n = 30) (20mL). Transversus abdominis plane block was obtained with 0.25% levobupivacaine + 1 µg/kg fentanyl in Group F (n = 30) (20mL). The primary outcome was the first analgesic request, and the secondary outcomes were the visual analog scale, postoperative analgesic requirements, sedation, hemodynamic stability, and related complications 24 hours postoperatively. 1gm paracetamol intravenously was provided as rescue analgesia. RESULTS The time to first analgesic request in the dexmedetomidine group was substantially more prolonged than in the fentanyl and control groups (516.5±27.8, 451.2±11.1, and 403.9±10.5min, respectively; p < 0.05). Postoperative analgesic requirements were significantly decreased in dexmedetomidine 1(1-2) than control 2(1-3) and fentanyl 1.5(1-2) respectively (P<0.01). VAS was significantly lower in Group D and Group F than in Group L postoperatively. No significant difference in side effects was noted between the groups. CONCLUSION The transversus abdominis plane block is the best multimodal analgesia choice for inguinal hernia repair in older patients. Combining dexmedetomidine with levobupivacaine in the transversus abdominis plane block can improve the quality of postoperative analgesia while avoiding significant side effects.

Abstract
Background and Aims Our aim was to assess the efficacy of analgesia using ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric (IIIH) nerve block, transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and diclofenac after caesarean delivery (CD) under spinal anaesthesia (SA).]. Methods A total of 457 healthy parturients undergoing CD under SA were included in this prospective, observational study. Groups differed in the postoperative analgesic strategies received by the parturient at the end of surgery: group D (n = 148) received intramuscular diclofenac sodium, group I (n = 153) received bilateral IIIH block with bupivacaine plus clonidine and group T (n = 156) received bilateral TAP block with bupivacaine plus clonidine. Total duration of postoperative analgesia, numerical pain rating scale (NRS) scores, patient satisfaction score, rescue analgesics in the first 48 h postoperatively and adverse effects were observed. A value of P < 0.05 was taken as significant. Results Total duration of analgesia was longest (18.2 ± 1.3 h) in group T and shortest in group D (6.3 ± 0.8 h) compared to group I (13.1 ± 1.2 h) (P < 0.001). Total analgesic requirement in postoperative 48 h was lowest in group T (152.1 ± 34.9 mg), highest in group D (355.0 ± 25.6 mg) and intermediate in group I (221.0 ± 30.0 mg) (P < 0.001). Mean NRS scores were lower in group T compared to those in groups D and I. The patients in group T were extremely satisfied, in group I were satisfied and in group D were dissatisfied (P < 0.001). Conclusion Bilateral TAP block with bupivacaine and clonidine after CD under SA increases the duration of postoperative analgesia.

Abstract
Surgical excision of the groin and vulva is a painful procedure. Traditionally following general or regional anaesthesia, local anaesthetic was infiltrated around the wound. Thedistribution varied and the somatic pain control was not reliable. Inspired by the success of the application of peripheral nerve blocks for postoperative pain control with open abdominal procedures, we introduced blockade of the ilioinguinal nerve (IIN) and pudendal nerve (PN) into our vulval surgery to assess the requirement for parenteral and oral analgesia in the postoperative period. This is an observational study of all patients undergoing major vulval and/or related groin surgery. Sampling biopsies were excluded. Levobipuvicaine 0.25% (2.5 mg/ml) or 0.5% (5 mg/ml) was used for and dosage was calculated based on the patient's weight with no more than 2 mg/kg. For example, using 0.25% of levobupivacaine (2.5 mg/ml) for a 70 kg patient, 56 ml is administered divided into 4, giving 14mls at each site (2 sites abdominally for IIN block and 2 sites for pudendal block). Eighteen women were included in the analysis. Median age was 67 (range 34-81) years and thirteen (72%) were >60 years. Visual analogue scores (VAS) ranged from 0 to 3 for seventeen patients from day 0 to day 1 and fifteen patients from day 2 to day 5. Two patients had pain scores >4 on one or more postoperative days: one had chronic arthralgia and one had received a lower volume of bupivacaine. This observational study demonstrates that ilioinguinal and pudendal nerve LA blocks may be a valuable addition to the multimodal postoperative analgesic pathway for women undergoing major surgical excision in the vulva and groin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Primary aim of this study is to determine whether the use of local anaesthesia performed with IINB and IHNB against spinal anaesthesia in inguinal hernia repair is accepted as an alternative medicine. METHODS 75 cases in the class of American Society of Anesthesia physical status (ASA) I-III between the ages of 18 and 75 diagnosed with single-sided inguinal hernia and hospitalized for surgery in general surgery clinic were prospectively and randomly included in this study. RESULTS There was statistically significant difference between the groups (30.14 ± 8.2 and 35.51 ± 9.39) in terms of the duration of the surgery. The duration was shorter in Group 1 (p < 0.001). There was statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the duration of the first mobilization. It was significantly shorter in Group 2 than in Group 1 (5.71 ± 1.7 and 2.70 ± 1.53 min) (p < 0.001). Mean duration of length of hospital stay criteria was significantly shorter in Group 2 than in Group 1 (26.00 ± 6.43 and 14.23 ± 5.40 h) (p < 0.001). Throughout the follow-up period in postoperative 24 h, the number of patients who needed analgesia was significantly higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (91.4% and 45.7%) There was statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of patient satisfaction and urinary retention development (p < 0.005). Hematoma development or postoperative bleeding was not observed in either group. The time of sensory block onset was significantly higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 (9.66 ± 1.41 and 9.03 ± 0.98 min) (p < 0.005) CONCLUSION: The results of our study show that IINB and IHNB applied with local anaesthesia are superior to spinal anaesthesia in unilateral inguinal hernia repairs.

Abstract
Abstract
In this narrative review article, the authors discuss the anatomy, nomenclature, history, approaches (posterior vs. lateral vs. subcostal), techniques, pharmacology, indications, and complications of transversus abdominis plane blocks, as well as possible alternative truncal blocks.
Despite the scarcity of evidence and contradictory findings, certain clinical suggestions can nonetheless be made. Overall transversus abdominis plane blocks appear most beneficial in the setting of open appendectomy (posterior or lateral approach). Lateral transversus abdominis plane blocks are not suggested for laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy, or open prostatectomy. However, transversus abdominis plane blocks could serve as an analgesic option for Cesarean delivery (posterior or lateral approach) and open colorectal section (subcostal or lateral approach) if there exist contraindications to intrathecal morphine and thoracic epidural analgesia, respectively.
Future investigation is required to compare posterior and subcostal transversus abdominis plane blocks in clinical settings. Furthermore, posterior transversus abdominis plane blocks should be investigated for surgical interventions in which their lateral counterparts have proven not to be beneficial (e.g., laparoscopic hysterectomy/appendectomy, open prostatectomy). More importantly, because posterior transversus abdominis plane blocks can purportedly provide sympathetic blockade and visceral analgesia, they should be compared with thoracic epidural analgesia for open colorectal surgery. Finally, transversus abdominis plane blocks should be compared with newer truncal blocks (e.g., erector spinae plane and quadratus lumborum blocks) with well-designed and adequately powered trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy still exists regarding the efficiency and safety of ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve (II/IH) block versus transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block for pain management after inguinal hernia repair. The purpose of the current meta-analysis was to perform a relatively credible and comprehensive assessment to compare the efficiency and safety of II/IH versus TAP for pain management after inguinal hernia repair. METHODS The PUBMED, CENTRAL, and EMBASE were systematically searched. Studies comparing II/IH versus TAP for pain management in adult patients undergoing inguinal herniorrhaphy were included. The results of this study are synthesized and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. RESULTS Six studies with 632 patients were included in this study. No statistically significant difference was observed between the II/IH and TAP groups in postoperative opioid use, the time to first request for rescue analgesia, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), incidence of complication related with nerve blocks and patient satisfaction. The TAP group had a significantly higher pain score at 6 and 8 hours postoperatively (6 hours: mean difference [MD] = 0.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67-1.22, I = 0%, P < .01; 8 hours: MD = 1.02, 95% CI 0.3-1.74, I = 59%, P < .01). However, no statistically significant difference was observed at 1, 2, 4, 12, 24, 48 hours, and 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS In general, this meta-analysis revealed that both approaches have similar postoperative opioid consumption and no significant difference in postoperative complication and patient satisfaction. The II/IH block provides excellent analgesic effects at 6 and 8 hours after inguinal herniorrhaphy in compared with the TAP block. However, more high-quality randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up are still required to make the conclusion.

Abstract
Effective and adequate post-operative analgesia for cesarean section is in demand due to increasing rates of cesarean deliveries, and may help promote recovery, ambulation and breastfeeding. Local nerve block has been applied as post-operative analgesia for maternal patients receiving cesarean section; specifically, lateral abdominal transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) and iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal nerve block (IHINB) under ultrasound guidance have been proven to be effective. The present study aimed to compare the analgesic effect of TAPB and IHINB in maternal females undergoing cesarean section. Propensity-matched females who received cesarean section (n=124) were retrospectively enrolled and divided into the TAPB group (n=62) and the IHINB group (n=62) according to their post-operative analgesia treatment. All of the patients have been given spinal-epidural anesthesia during the operation, while they received either TAPB or IHINB for post-operative analgesia. Demographic and clinical data were collected and compared, including time to first morphine request, cumulative morphine consumption, visual analogue scale (VAS) score and adverse events. Due to propensity matching, there was no significant difference between the two groups in their baseline characteristics (all P>0.05). The log-rank test indicated no significant difference in the Kaplan-Meier curves for the time to first morphine request between the two groups (P=0.575). The VAS score and cumulative morphine consumption at 6 and 12 h was similar between the two groups (all P>0.05). However, these two parameters were significantly lower in the IHINB group at 24 and 48 h (P<0.001). Uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the method of block was not an independent influencing factor regarding postoperative pain relief (P=0.628). There was also no difference between the two groups in adverse events of analgesia (all P>0.05). In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that TAPB and IHINB achieved a comparably satisfactory analgesic effect after cesarean section. However, the analgesic effect of IHINB was better than that of TAPB at the later stages.

Abstract
Background and Aims: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and Ilioinguinal/Iliohypogastric (IL/IH) nerve blocks have been advocated in reducing postoperative pain and additional analgesic requirement following lower abdominal surgeries with varied effect. The aim of this study was to determine post-operative analgesic efficacy by comparing dual TAP [combining TAP and IL/IH nerve blocks] and IL/IH nerve block alone for open inguinal hernia repair. Methods: Two hundred patients undergoing elective primary unilateral open inguinal hernia repair with a mesh were included in to this trial. Ultrasound-guided dual TAP (D-TAP Group) or IL/IH (IL/IH Group) nerve block were administered to patients following subarachnoid block according to their group allocation, with 0.5% ropivacaine. Post operatively patients were monitored for visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at rest (at 4, 12, 24 and 48h) and during movement (at 24, 48 h, 3 and 6 months). Pain scores at 3 and 6 months were assessed by telephonic interview, using the DN4 questionnaire for neuropathic pain. The statistics was obtained using Chi-square test for proportions in qualitative data and student's unpaired t test for quantitative data. P value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The pain scores at rest (VAS-R) were significantly lower at 12 hours and 24 hours (P < 0.001) in D-TAP group, while pain scores at movement were significantly lower (P < 0.001) in D-TAP group at 24 and 48 hours compared to IL/IH group. The mean time required for first rescue analgesic was longer in D-TAP group (5.590 ± 2.386 hr) in comparison to IL/IH group (3.1053 ± 1.1822h). Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided dual TAP block provides more effective post-operative analgesia in open inguinal hernia repair.
