Summary

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) and Quadratus lumborum (QL) blocks are used for the management of acute pain treatment, especially after the lower and upper abdominal surgeries.

The TAP block which is one of the abdominal truncal blocks is performed with the blockage of the nerve group which innervates the anterior abdominal muscle wall layers. However, in QL block, the local anesthetic agent spreads through the abdominal wall and paravertebral space with the help of the perimuscular fascia to maintain the somatic analgesia.

The investigators' aim in this study, to investigate the effect of the TAP and QL blocks on peroperative and postoperative analgesic consumption in children undergoing unilateral elective orchiopexy.
