Erector spinae plane block as an alternative to caudal block in concurrent pediatric urologic and inguinal surgery: A double-blinded randomized controlled trial
This study shows that the ESP block provides effective and safe postoperative analgesia compared to the CB in pediatric patients undergoing circumcision and lower abdominal surgeries. Clinicians may consider the ESP block as another option for CB in such surgeries based on their clinical experience.
