Study:
The Effect of Thoracolumbar Paravertebral Block or Intravenous Lidocaine and Ketamine Versus Standard Care on Acute and Chronic Pain After Inguinal Herniorrhaphy
Rationale:
n/a
Purpose:
The investigators are conducting this study to find out if intravenous (injected through the
vein) infusion of lidocaine and ketamine administered with general anesthesia is as effective
as a paravertebral block in lessening pain after surgery and that both of these techniques
are superior to general anesthesia alone in reducing pain immediately after surgery and in
the long-term.
