Brief Summary

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

Acute pain management for pediatric surgical patients intraoperatively and postoperatively is important for their comfort and psychological impact. Children aged 3-9 years old are included in the study and are divided randomly into two groups (45 children in each):

Group D: Caudal block with bupivacaine 0.25% in a dose of (1 ml / kg) and dexmedetomidine 1μg/ kg.

Group T: TAP block with bupivacaine 0.25% in a dose of (0.5 ml / kg).
