Introduction: The paravertebral block (PVB) has been used with success, both as anaesthetic and analgesic techniques, for inguinal herniorrhaphy. PVB provides an analgesia equivalent to extensive peripheral nerve block for inguinal herniorrhaphy, offering an alternative method of postoperative pain management with fewer adverse events. PVB has been found to be more advantageous than conventional spinal anaesthesia for inguinal hernia repair, in terms of early ambulation and better postoperative pain scores.
