Ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block versus ilioinguinal nerve block for postoperative analgesia in children undergoing inguinal herniotomy: A randomized controlled trial.
Ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block (RLB) is a new, safe and technically easy nerve block. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated its analgesic efficacy in pediatric patients. This study aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of RLB and ilioinguinal nerve block (INB) in pediatric patients undergoing unilateral inguinal herniotomy. ⋯ Retrolaminar block is superior to ilioinguinal nerve block in providing postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing unilateral inguinal herniotomy.
