Summary
This study tests two ultrasound-guided pain blocks—sacral erector spinae plane block and caudal epidural block—in 70 boys aged 1-5 years undergoing hypospadias repair. The goal is to see which provides better pain control and fewer side effects after surgery. Both blocks use the same numbing medicine (bupivacaine), and pain will be measured over 24 hours.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bupivacaine
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a safer, more effective pain-blocking technique for young children undergoing genital surgery, reducing opioid use and side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 70 participants, so results may not apply to all children. Both blocks are already used in practice, so no major breakthrough is expected.
