Overview

Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical pathologies in children, and the minimally invasive percutaneous internal ring suturing (PIRS) technique is widely preferred.

By providing effective pain control, nerve blocks reduce postoperative opioid requirements, thereby minimising opioid-related adverse effects and lowering the risk of pulmonary and cardiovascular complications.

This study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of rectus sheath block and caudal epidural block in pediatric patients undergoing PIRS.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients aged between 1 and 8 years
  • ASA physical status I-II
  • Patients who underwent PIRS surgery in the operating room and received either a rectus sheath block or a caudal epidural block

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients younger than 1 year or older than 8 years
  • ASA physical status ≥ III
  • History of bleeding diathesis
