Brief Summary

Pain is defined as unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or descibed in terms of such damage. post operative pain can lead to delayed postoperative recovery of normal physiological functions. Caudal block is a most frequently used regional technique in children undergoing hypospadias repair for post operative pain management since it is simple, safe and has a higher success rate. Erector spinae plane block is a paraspinal plane block frst described to relieve thoracic pain. The sacral erector spinae plane block was first performed to provide analgesia to sacral dermatomes for pilonidal sinus surgery. Erector spinae plane block at sacral level can potentially block the pudendal nerve(S2-S4). Ultrasound assisted blocks help to visualise needle trajectory depth , injection site and spread of drug that reduces the number of attempts and improved patient comfort. Bupivacaine is long acting amide local anesthetic drug that is widely used for peripheral nerve block. So the present study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of sacral erector spinae plane block for post operative analgesia in paediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair.
