Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Caudal block analgesia is a popular and reliable technique for lower abdominal surgeries and found to be safe and effective for providing intra and postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients.
transversal fascia plane block (TFPB) aims to provide analgesia for invasive procedures of the inguinal and sublingual areas by blocking the subcostal (T12), ilioinguinal (L1) and iliohypogastric (T12-L1) nerves. Several studies have reported TFPB as the analgesic method of choice for procedures involving the T12-L1 dermatome region, including iliac bone graft harvesting, cesarean section, and inguinal hernia repair
