    A study of 200 patients showed that ultrasound-guided local nerve block anesthesia resulted in better postoperative outcomes than epidural anesthesia.

  • 3

    Patients in the local anesthesia group had significantly lower pain scores and shorter recovery times compared to those in the epidural group.

  • 4

    All patients were discharged within 24 hours post-surgery, demonstrating the feasibility of day surgery for elderly inguinal hernia patients.
