Background: Nociceptive and neuropathic post-operative discomfort of moderate severity is related to inguinal hernia operations. The Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale, the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain are all used to measure pain. Objective: To control the postoperative pain in patients undergoing open inguinal hernia. Methods: Pain Control, Undergoing Open Inguinal Hernia and Visual Analogue Scale were searched for in PubMed, Google Scholar, and The Egyptian Knowledge Bank. Systemic analgesic methods (such as opioids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), localised analgesic methods (such as quadratus lumborum block (QLB)), and a multimodal approach to perioperative recovery were used to control postoperative pain. High postoperative pain scores were seen in patients with high pain levels in the first week following surgery, patients who had recurrent hernia repairs, patients who had high levels of pain prior to surgery, and patients who had outpatient surgery were all risk factors for inguinal hernia postoperative pain. Only the most current or comprehensive studies were included after the authors thoroughly filtered references from the pertinent literature, which comprised all the recognised studies and reviews. Conclusion: After open inguinal hernia surgery, a multimodal analgesic strategy (a mix of localised and systemic analgesia) is particularly successful at reducing postoperative discomfort and promoting early mobilisation.
