Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder characterized by increased susceptibility to fractures and vascular injuries due to connective tissue fragility. In this case report, we present a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta type I who sustained a transverse fracture of the right acetabulum while transferring from bed to chair. The fracture was repaired through an ilioinguinal approach. Du...

In the present study, we evaluated the effects of ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve blocks and intratracheal general anesthesia in the radical surgery of aged cervical cancer. From June 2014 to December 2014, 62 patients diagnosed with aged cervical cancer were enrolled in this study. The patients conformed to the indication of cervical cancer radical surgery. Patients we...

A peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) can be an alternative for long-term pain relief refractory to conventional therapeutic modalities. We present a case of chronic incapacitating ilioinguinal neuralgia, which was successfully managed with permanent implantation of a peripheral nerve stimulator. A 26-year-old active duty African American man was referred to the University Pain Clinic with left i...

Bilateral ilioinguinal nerve blockade was performed, using 0.5% plain bupivacaine 10 ml to each side, in 13 patients having elective Caesarean section under general anaesthesia. Pain scores and requirement for postoperative analgesia were compared with 13 patients in a control group. Pain scores were less in the block patients at all times during the first day after operation, with the exceptio...

abstract: introduction & objective: postoperative pain management and narcotic usage after inguinal hernia repair is an important concern for anesthesiologists and surgeons. the purpose of this study was to find out whether the use of local anesthetic nerve block in ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric region by bupivacaine could reduce postoperative pain and hospital admission periods after inguin...

Femoral nerve palsy has been reported after percutaneous ilioinguinal field infiltration with general anaesthesia for inguinal herniorrhaphy. The mechanism whereby this could occur was studied in cadaver dissections. It was found that the plane between the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia was continuous laterally with the tissue plane deep to the iliacus fascia, which i...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the analgesic effects of ripovacaine when used as high concentration/small volume, versus its use as high volume/low concentration, in ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block in children. METHODS This is a prospective single-blind randomized study consisting of 72 children ASA I & II, 3-9 years of age, scheduled for outpatient elective s...

Ultrasound as a Modality for Detection and Treatment of an Ilioinguinal Neuroma" (2012). For some time, the literature has described Morton neuromas sonographically as ovoid, h h i lt d l id Neuromas can result from any surgery and occur in 2.1% of patients with a Pfannenstiel incision. 1 Thi ti l i f tl i d i ti t h

OBJECTIVE To study the long-term recurrence rate and other complications after conventional and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Reliable long-term follow-up of patients with inguinal hernias treated by laparoscopic repair techniques is lacking. METHODS The authors performed a randomized, multicenter trial in which 487 patients with inguinal hernia were treated b...
