Summary

Local infiltration anesthesia is a safe and effective option for adult inguinal hernia repair in day-case surgery. This method offers advantages over spinal anesthesia, including reduced complications and faster recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Anesthesiology
  • Hernia Surgery
  • Ambulatory Surgery

Background:

  • Economic pressures drive the adoption of day-case surgery and advancements in surgical and anesthetic techniques.
  • Mesh prosthetics are crucial for minimizing recurrence and reoperation in hernia repair.
  • Spinal and local infiltration anesthesia are cost-effective alternatives to general anesthesia for ambulatory procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of local infiltration anesthesia versus spinal anesthesia for adult inguinal hernia repair in a day-case setting.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of anesthetic and postoperative records was conducted.
  • Data from 413 adult patients who underwent inguinal hernia repair under local anesthesia were compared with 121 patients who received spinal anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Patients receiving spinal anesthesia experienced more frequent and severe cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological complications.
  • The local anesthesia group required more perioperative analgesia and sedation.
  • Shorter operating room times and earlier ambulation were observed in the local anesthesia group, correlating with reduced patient discomfort.

Conclusions:

  • Local infiltration anesthesia is a safe, simple, and effective technique for adult abdominal hernia repair.
  • This anesthetic method is recommended for day-case surgery of reducible inguinal hernias.
