Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Postoperative pain management in children is still standing as a problem to solve. Effect of quadratus lumborum block has been shown to be a promising technique to overcome postoperative pain in children undergoing low abdominal surgeries. Erector spinae plane block is a new defined relatively safer and easier regional anesthesia technique which could be used for this purpose. Primary aim of this double blinded randomized controlled trial is to compare the analgesic efficacy of this two block techniques in this group of pediatric patients.
