    AbstractIn Germany approximately 150,000 inguinal hernias are surgically corrected every year. In addition to developing an optimum operation technique it is also the responsibility of a surgeon to treat pain during and after surgery. In a prospective random double-blind study, the pain after herniotomy performed with intraoperative anesthesia of the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves with a long-acting local anesthetic combined with a vasoconstrictor was compared by means of scores on a scale from 1 to 10 with pain in a control group. The results suggest that the intraoperative anesthesia reduces pain after surgery both on the day of the operation and afterwards, when the effect of the local anesthetic has decreased. An optimum pain therapy therefore has to start during surgery. Use of a local anesthetic is especially suitable. Side effects of systemic analgesics are avoided, and perioperative risks of ambulant hernia surgery can be reduced.
