chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair is an adverse outcome that affects about 12 % to 54 % of patients. Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric ( IG – IH ) nerve block has been widely used in patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair. Ketorolac is indicated for the short term (less than 5 days)management of pain and appears to be particularly useful in the immediate postoperative period. A standard dose of Ketorolac provides analgesia equivalent to 6 – 12 mg of morphine administered by the same route. The interval to onset is also similar to morphine, but Ketorolac has a longer duration of action (6 – 8 h). what is the best method for pain management after inguinal procedures? Is there any difference between (IG – IH) nerve block, and Ketorolac IV postoperatively (pain scores, early movement, nausea, vomiting ...)?
