Brief Summary  
Spinal anaesthesia is a safe and effective form of anaesthesia which can be used as an alternative to general anaesthesia commonly in surgeries involving the lower extremities and surgeries below umbilicus which provides anaesthesia, analgesia, motor and sensory blockade.
The primary aim of this study will be to compare the effect of adding nalbuphine to 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine versus plain 0.75% hyperbaric ropivacaine in unilateral inguinal hernia open mesh repair surgeries in terms of total duration of analgesia, onset and duration of both motor and sensory blockade.
