What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided paravertebral block and erector spinae plane block for postoperative pain management in pediatric patients undergoing elective inguinal hernia repair. It will assess the total amount of rescue analgesics used in the first 24 hours post-surgery, the timing of the first analgesic request, and pain intensity during rest and movement. Additionally, the study will monitor for complications and evaluate parental satisfaction with the pain management provided.
