Comparison Between the Analgesic Effect of Fascia Transversalis Block vs Caudal Block
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Despite the growing interest in interfascial blocks and their successful use in pediatric surgeries, no previous randomized clinical trials have directly compared the analgesic efficacy, opioid-sparing effect, and safety profile of the fascia transversalis block versus the caudal block in pediatric patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair. This study aims to address this gap by providing the first head-to-head randomized comparison between both blocks in a standardized surgical setting
