Details and patient eligibility

About

It was planned to compare the analgesic efficacy of the transversalis fascia plane block and the posterior quadratus lumborum block in children aged 1 to 7 years undergoing orchiopexy, by evaluating their FLACC scores and the time to first postoperative analgesic requirement.
