Local anaesthesia in inguinal herniorrhaphy: our experience in Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
Over 75 pc of 138 patients prospectively studied tolerated field block local anaesthesia for inguinal herniorrhaphy. This tolerance was, however, lower in the younger age groups. There were few complications and patients were discharged within 24 to 72 hours.
