What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Erector Spinae Plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Erector Spinae plane block will be done according to hernia level using bupivacaine hydrochloride

  • Sham blockProcedure or surgery

    Sham block will be done with serum physiologic.

  • Bupivacaine HydrochlorideDrug

    20 ml 0,25% Bupivacaine will be used for block performances

  • PCADevice

    Intravenous morphine patient controlled analgesia device will be given to the patients postoperatively and 24 hour morphine consumption will be recorded
