             after the administration of study medication.

          3. Plan to undergo a unilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy

          4. Have the ability and be willing to comply with the study procedures

          5. Must be able to understand study procedures and give informed consent for the conduct

          6. Have another painful condition that may confound pain assessments

          7. Have another surgery planned within 30 days of procedure, or presents with bilateral
             or recurrent inguinal hernia, other hernia presentations, or hernias with large
