Popis: Aim To show the effect on postoperative pain of direct instillation of ropivacaine into the retromuscular space. Method During the E-TEP Rives procedure, after mesh placement, we instilled ropivacaine into the retromuscular space via a working port. In our initial experience we compared only five patients from each group. We measured the decrease in postoperative pain with the visual analog pain scale 24 hours postoperatively. Results We achieved a decrease in postoperative pain, which we measured using the visual analog pain scale, with a reduction of 3 vs 5 in the control group, and which translates into a decrease in opioid consumption in the immediate postoperative period. Conclusion To decrease postoperative pain we implemented several actions, among the most important for us, was the technique of nerve block of the anterior abdominal wall with ropivacaine. This technique is easier and faster than ultrasound nerve localization and allows selectively blocking the nerve bundles of the rectus, having the same efficacy in our experience.
