Comparing Opioids Vs NSAIDs for Postoperative Pain Management in Unilateral Primary Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

Pakistan60 participantsStarted 2024-01-01

Plain-language summary

To control post-operative pain, multiple drugs are available, and in the western countries opioids are preferred. However, they have their own side effects, and so to reduce their dependence, multiple adjuncts are used. We compared the use of opioids vs just non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on post-operative pain control following inguinal hernia surgery
