Background: In this study we compare the postoperative pain relief for inguinal herniotomy in children provided by instillation of bupivacaine into the wound with that provided by a caudal block.
Methods: Fifty-eight children aged 0-5 years having elective unilateral hernia repair were studied in this prospective, randomized, single-blind study. Anaesthesia was induced and maintained with oxygen, nitrous oxide, sevoflurane and propofol.
