Herniorraphy and Hernioplasty are the techniques for Inguinal hernia repair. Newer technique of laparoscopic mesh repair is also in practice. Hernia repair can be performed under spinal, epidural, general anaesthesia and inguinal field block. The preferred choice for all reducible Inguinal hernia is local since it inhibits the build up of local nociceptive receptors, hence a longer postoperative pain relief1. Also it is safe, simple and effective without post anaesthesia side effects. Compared to other techniques spinal /General anaesthesia (GA), field block does not provide a satisfactory level. But it provides prolonged postoperative analgesia, reduced urinary retention and early ambulation. Also it is a cost effective method2,3 in day care surgery warranting a speedy recovery and also the preferred anaesthesia in geriatric patients with underlying systemic pathology. Postoperative analgesia is now regarded as an integral part of the surgical care. Insufficient analgesia can have significant pathophysiological and psychological effects in post-operative patients4. Lack of pain relief may manifest as haemodynamic changes in the form 1 of tachycardia and hypertension, tachypnoea and hypoxemia, altered gastrointestinal motility, impaired urinary tract function5. The introduction of Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine , other amide local anaesthetic agents with longer duration of action when compared with lignocaine which has a moderate duration of action6 has an added advantage of providing prolonged post op analgesia. Ropivacaine compared with bupivacaine has better cardiac stability with comparable analgesia7. Hence this study of Field block is undertaken to objectively test the efficacy of block , side effects and degree of postoperative pain relief comparing the two drugs Bupivacaine and Ropivacaine. 2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVE To study and compare the The onset of analgesia The adequacy of block The duration of postoperative pain relief Side effects if any, that occurs with the usage of the two drugs Haemodynamic changes 3 REVIEW OF LITERATURE A comparative study of 0.5% Bupivacaine and 0.5% Ropivacaine for day case inguinal herniorraphy in a Nigerian tertiary institution was done showing that Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine have comparable onset of actions and adequacy of anaesthesia8. Randomized study of 160 patients conducted by F H Andersen K Nielsen at surgical clinic Charlottenlund, Copenhagen, Denmark- combined ilioinguinal blockade and local infiltration anaesthesia for groin hernia repair, showed median intra-operative pain score reduced with additional ilioinguinal blockade. Study concluded that additional use of a preoperative ilioinguinal field block to well established local infiltration anaesthesia procedure for inguinal hernia repair improves intra-operative pain relief9. Retrospective analysis conducted by P Sanjay, A Woodward, in department of surgery of Ninewells hospital and medical school, revealed tha patient satisfaction is more in local anaesthesia. Also it was seen that local complications like wound hematoma, wound infection, recurrence readmission, postoperative hydrocele is more with local anaesthesia, but there is significant reduction of postoperative urinary retention. Study concluded that use of Local Anaesthesia (LA) results in increased day 4 case-rates, lower postoperative analgesic requirements and fewer micturition problems10. Prospective study of 454 patients of inguinal hernia repair with local anaesthesia in the outpatient by Flavio Antonio de Sa Ribeiro, Fernanda Padron, et al showed that there were no adverse effect of local anaesthetics and concluded that procedure is feasible and causes no peri- operative pain, safe and has satisfactory patient acceptance11.
