Over a 15-month period, 39 patients (37 men) of mean age 52 years underwent laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Seven patients had bilateral hernia. Forty-six hernias (33 indirect, five direct, eight both direct and indirect) were repaired. A piece of polypropylene mesh measuring 8 x 10 cm was used to cover the direct and indirect spaces with an endoscopic multifeed hernia stapler. The mean operating time for unilateral and bilateral repair was 49 and 63 min respectively (range 25-90 min). One-third of patients required no postoperative analgesia and only seven had more than one injection of pethidine. The median postoperative stay was 1 (range 1-3) days. The mean period to resumption of daily activities was 7 (range 4-21) days. Three patients complained of paraesthesia of the lateral aspect of the thigh and one developed a hydrocele. Two recurrences were noted on follow-up at 3 months.

This study analyses 25 cases of spermatic cord blockade for scrotal surgery (hydrocele, spermatocele, tumor of epididymis). The spermatic cord was infiltrated, after identification of the pubic tubercle, with a mean total dose of 17 +/- 3 ml of a 2% lidocaine solution not containing adrenaline. The scrotal skin was infiltrated separately at the site of incision. Analgesia was excellent in 22 patients. The duration of analgesia was 82 +/- 33 min. No adverse effects occurred. It is concluded that the blockade of the spermatic cord is a convenient anaesthesia technique for testicular surgery.

Prospective study was carried out on 100 patients since May 2005 in my private practice and in the department of pediatric surgery of MMCH. Under caudal anesthesia along with or without ketaminie induction and gas inhalation all the patients underwent different surgical procedure namely anorectal surgery (eg. anoplasty, rectal polyp), urogenital surgery (Circumcision, hypospadias, meatotomy), groin surgery (hernia, hydrocele) and foot & leg surgery. Calculated dose schedule of drugs used in anesthesia and volume were maintained. Time of giving anesthesia and time of starting analgesia were recorded. Per-operative and postoperative analgesia were evaluated. Every parent was explained regarding the merit of caudal anesthesia calculated and compared with that of general anesthesia. Application of caudal anesthesia with or without ketamine & diazepam induction can be used safely and cost effectively and may be put into protocol in many of the pediatric surgical practice both in institute and also in private practice.
