In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial compares spinal anesthesia with general anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two anesthesia groups. The primary outcome is postoperative pain assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 1 hour after surgery. Postoperative pain at additional time points, analgesic requirements, opioid consumption, and postoperative complications will also be evaluated.
