Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: one group received IINB and the other received combined IINB and SCB. The number of patients who required rescue analgesia after surgery was the primary outcome parameter, whereas assessment of the intraoperative hemodynamic parameters (MAP: mean arterial pressure; HR: heart rate), total consumption of paracetamol, postoperative pain score, and occurrence of adverse events were the secondary outcome measures.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The number of patients who needed rescue analgesia was significantly lower in IINB/SCB group (12%), than IINB group (41 %), <em>P</em> = 0.025.
