Materials & Methods: 50 patients in the range of 20-80 years of age who had underwent elective surgery for the purpose of inguinal hernia repair under spinal anesthesia were recruited in a prospective, double-blinded, and randomized manner. At the end of the surgery, the patients received an II and IH block through the direct injection of drugs around nerves. Meanwhile, the control group received bupivacaine 0.5% (2 cc) plus normal saline 1 cc (group C), and the dexamethasone group received bupivacaine 0.5% (2 cc) plus 4 mg (1 cc) dexamethasone (group D). The pain intensity was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) scale at 1, 2, 4, 12, and 24 hours after surgery.
