Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

TAP was recommended by PROSPECT for further investigation as an appropriate analgesic method after open herniorrhaphy. Ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block is one of the oldest methods of analgesia. The researchers wish to investigate whether the TAP block is as effective as the ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block?
