All anesthetic methods can be used in inguinal hernia repairs. Local\n   anesthesia for groin hernia repair had been introduced at the very beginning\n   of the last century, and gained popularity following the success reports from\n   the Shouldice Hospital, and the Lichtenstein Hernia Institute. Today, local\n   anesthesia is routinely used in specialized hernia clinics, whereas its use\n   is still not a common practice in general hospitals, in spite of its proven\n   advantages and recommendations by current hernia repair guidelines. In this\n   review, the technical options for local anaesthesia in groin hernia repairs,\n   commonly used local anaesthetics and their doses, potential complications\n   related to the technique are evaluated. A comparison of local, general and\n   regional anesthesia methods is also presented. Local anaesthesia technique\n   has a short learning curve requiring simple training. It is easy to learn and\n   apply, and its use is in open anterior repairs a nice way for health care\n   economics. Local anesthesia has been shown to have certain advantages over\n   general and regional anesthesia in inguinal hernia repairs. It is more\n   economic and requires a shorter time in the operating room and shorter stay\n   in the institution. It causes less postoperative pain, requires less\n   analgesic consumption; avoids nausea, vomiting, and urinary retention.\n   Patients can mobilize and take oral liquids and solid foods much earlier.\n   Most importantly, local anesthesia is the most suitable type of anesthesia in\n   elder, fragile patients and patients with ASA II-IV scores.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2298\/aci1103025k","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,23]],"date-time":"2012-01-23T09:01:50Z","timestamp":1327309310000},"page":"25-35","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Current options in local anesthesia for groin hernia repairs"],"prefix":"10.2298","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Hakan","family":"Kulacoglu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Teaching and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alp","family":"Alptekin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesiology, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Teaching and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1078","container-title":["Acta chirurgica Iugoslavica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,26]],"date-time":"2023-05-26T12:09:31Z","timestamp":1685102971000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/doiserbia.nb.rs\/Article.aspx?ID=0354-950X1103025K"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2298\/aci1103025k","relation":{},"ISSN":["0354-950X","2406-0887"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0354-950X","type":"print"},{"value":"2406-0887","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011]]}}}
