An observational study in Caudal Epidural Anesthesia, Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block and Orchiopexy, sponsored by Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascıoglu Education and Research Hospital Organization. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to male participants aged 1 Year to 7 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-13.
Sponsored by Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascıoglu Education and Research Hospital Organization · Observational
This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and caudal block for postoperative pain management in pediatric patients undergoing orchiopexy. Postoperative pain scores, time to first rescue analgesic requirement, total analgesic consumption, and block-related adverse effects will be evaluated during the first 24 hours after surgery. The study will assess whether erector spinae plane block provides effective postoperative analgesia comparable to or superior to caudal block in pediatric orchiopexy.
Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascıoglu Education and Research Hospital Organization is the lead sponsor of 87 studies on the registry; 15 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
