Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18-65 years with ASA I-II undergoing inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to the anterior iliac block or higher ASA status may not gain analgesic benefits.

What this trial studies
This interventional study evaluates the anterior iliac block as an alternative regional anesthesia technique for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair with spinal anesthesia. The study compares the block plus standard care to a control group to see if it extends postoperative analgesia duration and enhances patient satisfaction. Eligibility includes adults 18-65 years with ASA I-II status. Exclusions include refusal, contraindications, pregnancy, and higher ASA classes. The trial is conducted at Şanlıurfa Mehmet Akif İnan Training and Research Hospital in Turkey.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience longer-lasting pain relief and higher satisfaction after inguinal hernia surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies on broader regional blocks show potential for improved analgesia, but data on the anterior iliac block remain limited and findings are not yet conclusive.
