For this purpose after the main stage of operation - hernioplasty, before suturing of the aponeurosis of the external oblique abdominal muscle, through subcutaneous adipose cellular tissue a puncture of 1 cm more medially and 1 cm higher than the anterior-superior iliac spine is made. A multiperforated catheter is introduced through the puncture under finger and visual control in such a way that its distal end is near the pubic tubercle. The catheter is placed under the aponeurosis of the external oblique abdominal muscle in the inguinal canal above and parallel to the spermatic cord in men or the round ligament of uterus in women. All the side holes of the catheter must be located in the subaponeurotic space. The first 48 hours of the post-operation period the local anaesthetic is continuously introduced by drop infusion at a rate of 2-4 ml/h or by bolus introduction in a dose of 10 ml each 4-6 hours through the catheter. After 48 hours the catheter is removed.
