Summary
Effective perioperative analgesia is crucial for reducing hospital stay in pediatric surgical patients. Opioid-based analgesia, although effective, may lead to respiratory depression in the postoperative period. Therefore, alternative regional anesthesia techniques such as penile block and sacral ESPB are increasingly preferred. Sacral ESPB provides both somatic and visceral analgesia by blocking the dorsal and ventral rami of the spinal nerves. It has the potential to block the pudendal nerve and achieve bilateral effect with a single midline injection. However, comparative data between sacral ESPB and penile block in circumcision surgeries is limited.
