Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the efficacy of sugammadex in reversing neuromuscular blockade after inguinal hernia repair compared to other medications.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis.
  • Compared sugammadex with other neuromuscular blockade reversal agents.
  • Analyzed incidence rates of postoperative urinary retention.
  • Sugammadex significantly reduces the risk of postoperative urinary retention compared to other agents.
  • Its use may lead to fewer hospital readmissions related to urinary retention.
  • Despite its higher cost, the benefits may outweigh the drawbacks in certain settings.

Abstract

Sugammadex is associated with a significantly lower risk of POUR following IHR when compared to other medications for neuromuscular blockade reversal following IHR. Despite its higher cost and decreased availability in some centers, the use of Sugammadex should be strongly considered as the preferred option to prevent POUR and minimize the need for hospital readmissions.
