First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 86 children aged 1-7 years having hypospadias repair. Researchers compared two pain-block methods: a sacral erector spinae plane block and a caudal epidural block. Both used the same numbing medicine. Pain was measured for 24 hours after surgery to see which block worked better.

What this could lead to
