Abstract
A total of Sixty two cases (forty three with inguinal herniae and nineteen with hydroceles) were operated using intravenous Diazepam and Pentazocine, combined with Local Anesthesia. The study showed effectiveness of the procedure, shorter stay in hospital, lower cost and fewer complications. Most importantly the procedure was found to be suitable for patients unfit for conventional anesthesia.
Local Anesthesia has been used for many years in surgical practice, but the study was done to combine local anesthesia with agents having analgesia, sedative as well as muscle relaxant properties.
