Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided Transversalis Fascia Plane block versus Quadratus Lumborum block for postoperative pain relief in pediatrics undergoing appendectomy.

Primary outcomes:

• Proportion of patients needing rescue analgesia within the first 24 postoperative hours.

Secondary outcomes:

* Visual Analogue Scale pain intensity measurements.
* Intraoperative Heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure will be recorded.
* Time to first analgesic request for patients needing rescue analgesia (Fentanyl).
* Block-related complications (e.g., hematoma, local anesthetic toxicity, lower limb weakness).
* Parents' satisfaction score.

Conditions

  • Transversalis Fascia Plane Block
  • Quadratus Lumborum Block
  • Appendectomy

PROCEDURE

Quadratus Lumborum Plane Block group

35 patients will receive general anesthesia and a quadratus lumborum plane block in a dose of 0.4 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine administered prior to surgical excision
