In a study of 30 men undergoing elective inguinal hernia repair under general anaesthesia no difference in postoperative pain, patient rating score or morphine consumption was found between patients who had pre-operative ilioinguinal nerve block with bupivacaine 0.5% plain and those who received a similar block with bupivacaine 0.5% plain and triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg. Mean (SD) morphine requirements using a patient-controlled analgesia system were 37 (22.2) mg and 32 (20.3) mg in the bupivacaine and bupivacaine/triamcinolone groups respectively (p > 0.05). The addition of triamcinolone 40 mg to bupivacaine 0.5% offers no advantages over unsupplemented bupivacaine when used for ilioinguinal block. Accepted 18 February 1994. |
