Group ESP (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 26) was applied 30 ml of mixed local anaesthetic mixture applied at the L1 level to the plane of the erector spinae and 10 ml of tumescent when necessary, while Group SA (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 26) was applied 3 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine at the L3\u2013L4\/L2\u2013L3 level.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Intraoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) value was lower in Group S, whereas the 6\n th<\/jats:sup>\n -h VAS value was lower in Group ESP (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the VAS values at hour 12 and 24 (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n > 0.05). Reaching post-anaesthesia discharge criteria 9 and time to mobilisation and oral feeding was shorter in Group ESP, whereas post-procedure waiting time was shorter in Group S (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). While the need for post-operative analgesics was higher in Group S (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05), there was a high level of patient satisfaction in Group ESP (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.05). Intraoperative midazolam requirement was lower in Group S, post-operative diclofenac requirement was lower in Group ESP (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05), post-operative urinary retention and tremor were higher in Group S (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n ESP block provides adequate surgical anaesthesia compared to SA (non-inferiority) for inguinal hernia repair. It is associated with less analgesic requirement, low post-operative pain, less complication rate and high patient satisfaction in the post-operative period.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmas.jmas_367_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,14]],"date-time":"2023-08-14T13:01:19Z","timestamp":1692018079000},"page":"154-162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparison of spinal anaesthesia and erector spinae plane block in unilateral inguinal hernia: Randomised clinical trial"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Mustafa","family":"Ka\u00e7maz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Faculty of Medicine, \u00d6mer Halisdemir University, Ni\u011fde, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hac\u0131","family":"Bolat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, \u00d6mer Halisdemir University, Ni\u011fde, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alir\u0131za","family":"Erdo\u011fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, \u00d6mer Halisdemir University, Ni\u011fde, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"621","DOI":"10.1097\/AAP.0000000000000451","article-title":"The erector spinae plane block: A novel analgesic technique in thoracic neuropathic pain","volume":"41","author":"Forero","year":"2016","journal-title":"Reg Anesth Pain Med"},{"issue":"Suppl 1","key":"R2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1111\/anae.14139","article-title":"Spinal cord injury arising in anaesthesia practice","volume":"73","author":"Hewson","year":"2018","journal-title":"Anaesthesia"},{"key":"R3-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28","DOI":"10.2478\/cejcr-2018-0005","article-title":"Erector spinae block.
