Abstract

Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the value of ultrasound-guided drug injection in the treatment of pain complications after inguinal hernia surgery.

Methods

From June 2018 to August 2019, 15 patients who could not relieve the pain after inguinal hernia operation were treated by injecting medicine into the soft tissue area around the iliohypogastric nerve, ilioinguinal nerve and genitourinary branch of genitourinary nerve under the guidance of ultrasound. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain relief before and at 24 hours, 48 hours, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after operation.

Results

After the drug injection under the guidance of ultrasound, the pain was relieved in a short period of time, especially in 24 hour. There was no significant difference in VAS score between 2 weeks and 4 weeks after block operation (P>0.05). There was significant difference in other groups (P<0.05).

Conclusions

Ultrasound-guided drug injection therapy can relieve the pain after inguinal hernia operation effectively in a short time, and the clinical effect is remarkable. Therefore, it should be used as a safe and effective method to relieve the pain after inguinal hernia operation.
