The observation group received ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block in addition to ilioinguinal\/iliohypogastric nerve block, whereas the control group received only ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal\/iliohypogastric nerve block. The postoperative conditions and anesthesia dose (propofol and remifentanil) during surgery were recorded. The average arterial pressure and heart rate of the two groups were compared 10 min before anesthesia, 10 min after anesthesia, and postoperatively. Pain intensity was measured during and 30 min after the procedure using the pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), aldosterone (ALD), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were evaluated before surgery and 1 day later, and the incidence of postoperative complications was noted and compared between the two groups.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The propofol and remifentanil dosages in the observation group were much lower than those in the control group, and hospital stay and recovery times were significantly shorter (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).

Ten minutes after anesthesia and postoperatively, the average arterial pressure and heart rate of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, whereas those of the control group were higher than those observed preanesthesia (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).
