Introduction: The prevalence of radiation-induced nausea and vomiting varies between 40% and 80%. They have many consequences on treatment and comorbidities. This work thus aimed to define clinical practice guidelines for the management of radiation-induced nausea and vomiting.
Methods: XXXXX, XXXX, XXX, XXXXX, XXXX and XXXX compiled a working group who draft these recommendations.
Results: The assessment of the emetogenic risk found two main predictive factors: 1) the irradiated anatomical location, 2) an associated concomitant chemotherapy. In the case of exclusive radiotherapy, primary antiemetic prophylaxis depends on the emetogenic risk (the irradiated anatomical location). In the case of concomitant chemotherapy, the emetogenic risk is generally higher and the primary antiemetic prophylaxis corresponds to that of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. In cases where symptoms persist, remedial treatments are poorly codified.
Conclusion: Radiation-induced nausea and vomiting remains underdiagnosed and undertreated, its rapid detection and treatment are essential to reinstate good clinical practice.

Background: Lichtenstein hernia repair is a common surgical procedure. Previously, combined rectus sheath (RS) and transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks have been shown to be beneficial in laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery. Our hypothesis is that combining the two blocks will also be beneficial in open Lichtenstein hernioplasty day-case procedures.
