Summary
This study looks at two different ways to numb the belly area in children aged 1 to 7 who are having surgery for an undescended testicle. The goal is to see which method reduces pain and the need for extra pain medicine after the operation. About 70 children will take part, and neither they nor their doctors will know which method they received.
