[Use of the eutectic ointment EMLA (Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetics) in the surgical treatment of inguinal hernia under local anesthesia].
The use of EMLA eutectic cream is very effective and well tolerated in superficial anaesthesia. It is particularly indicated in surgical treatment of inguinal hernia by local anaesthesia, to achieve the analgesia of superficial layers. This allows to reduce the total dose of anaesthetics administrated by infiltration, reducing the risk of overdose, eliminating the pain due to injection, and is very agreeable for the patients.
