Summary
Ventral hernia repair leads to more than expected pain. This is thought to be secondary to
nerve pain at the lateral transfixion sutures. Systemic lidocaine given pre-op has in other
situations decreased neurogenic pain. This study will examine its effects on pain experienced
after ventral hernia repair.
