In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Open inguinal hernia repair is commonly associated with early postoperative pain, which may delay mobilization, reduce patient satisfaction, and increase opioid consumption. Low-dose intrathecal morphine may provide prolonged postoperative analgesia after spinal anesthesia; however, it may also be associated with opioid-related adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, urinary retention, sedation, and respiratory depression. The transversalis fascia plane block is an ultrasound-guided fascial plane block that targets the sensory innervation of the lower abdominal wall, particularly the T12-L1 dermatomal region and the ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve distribution. Although TFP block has been evaluated in lower abdominal procedures, direct comparison with low-dose intrathecal morphine in open inguinal hernia repair is limited. This prospective, randomized, controlled, as
