Summary
Circumcision is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in childhood and is associated with significant postoperative pain. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the analgesic effectiveness of sacral erector spinae plane block (sacral ESPB) and penile nerve block (PNB) in children undergoing circumcision surgery. The primary outcome is postoperative pain, assessed using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale at predefined time intervals within the first 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes include intraoperative analgesic consumption, time to first postoperative analgesic requirement, perioperative hemodynamic changes. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence for selecting the optimal regional analgesic technique for pediatric circumcision surgery.
