Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Local anaesthesia in elective inguinal hernia repair: a randomised, double-blind study comparing the efficacy of levobupivacaine with racemic bupivacaine.
To assess the use of infiltration with local anaesthetics levobupivacaine and bupivacaine, during inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ Levobupivacaine exerts a similar anaesthetic and analgesic effect to racemic bupivacaine when infiltrated both intraoperatively and during the early postoperative period for elective inguinal hernia repair.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
Prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with ramosetron: randomised controlled trial.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ramosetron (a 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptor antagonist) for the prevention of nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ⋯ Ramosetron 0.3 mg was the minimum effective dose for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting during 0 to 48 hours after anaesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Comparison of local, spinal, and general anaesthesia for inguinal herniorrhaphy.
To compare local, spinal, and general anaesthesia for inguinal hemiorraphy in otherwise healthy patients with respect to duration of operation, time in operating room, postoperative pain, complications, rehabilitation, and satisfaction. ⋯ Local anaesthesia is suitable for day-case hernia repair with fewer postoperative problems and less analgesia requirement. Patients also reported greater satisfaction. Local anaesthesia may be preferred to other methods.
