Summary

Orchiopexy is a surgery with a high frequency in the pediatric population. The use of regional anesthesia techniques has become widespread and its importance has increased in order to provide more effective and prolonged perioperative analgesia, as well as to prevent the side effects of opioids such as respiratory depression and to reduce systemic analgesic consumption. In this study, it was planned to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of routinely applied fascia transversalis plan block and caudal epidural block for analgesia after general anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoing orchiopexy (unilateral) according to the surgery and suitability of the patient and the competence of the anesthesiologist.

ASA I-II, patients who will undergo unilateral orchiopexy under general anesthesia, patients between the ages of 1-7 years, who have no contraindications for block application, and whose participation in the study is accepted by their legal guardian will be included in the study. After induction of general anesthesia and ensuring airway safety with a laryngeal mask, one of the regional anesthesia methods (fascia transversalis plan block or caudal epidural block) deemed appropriate for the patient is applied by the specialist of the room before the surgical incision. Postoperative analgesic needs of the patients and FLACC score will be evaluated at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively.
