A Comparison of the Ultrasound-Guided Dorsal Penile Block and Ultrasound-Guided Caudal Epidural Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Children Undergoing Hypospadias Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study
Ultrasound-guided dorsal penile block proved more effective than caudal epidural block for postoperative pain management in hypospadias surgery, leading to longer time to first analgesic administration, lower pain scores, and reduced rescue analgesic requirements. Further studies are required to validate these findings.
