hydrocelectomy, orchiectomy and orchidopexy, but <strong>the</strong>se data<br />
and <strong>the</strong> time to first rescue analgesic were significant only in<br />
inguinal hernia repair patients (Jagannathan 2009). The addition<br />
of a spermatic cord block to an IIB may reduce analgesic<br />
requirements in orchidopexy (Blatt 2007). Percutaneous IIB +<br />
gGFB in children undergoing inguinal herniorraphy resulted in<br />
lower pain scores <strong>for</strong> 8 hours and lower analgesic requirements<br />
(Hinkle 1987). Conflicting results have been shown by a study in<br />
which <strong>the</strong> benefit of <strong>the</strong> additional gGFB to IIB was limited only<br />
to <strong>the</strong> time of sac traction without any postoperative effect<br />
(Sasaoka 2005).
