Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  local anaesthetic drug bupivacaine will be used to give USG-guided caudal block  Passage of 22-gauge needle through the sacral hiatus will be observed, bupivacaine 0.25% will be administered at dose of 1 ml/kg following negative aspiration of blood and CSF. Pain will be assessed at 2,4,6,8,12 and 24 hours after surgery using FLACC scale. If pain score using FLACC scale becomes higher than 3, injection paracetamol will be administered at dose of 15 mg/kg through IV route. Total consumption of paracetamol in the first 24 hours will be recorded.  
Intervention  local anaesthetic drug bupivacaine will be used to give USG-guided transversus abdominis plane block  on entering the transversus abdominis plane, a total of 0.5 ml/kg, 0.25% of bupivcaine will be administered.Pain will be assessed at 2,4,6,8,12 and 24 hours after surgery using FLACC scale. If pain score using FLACC scale becomes higher than 3, injection paracetamol will be administered at dose of 15 mg/kg through IV route. Total consumption of paracetamol in the first 24 hours will be recorded.

Brief Summary   post operative analgesia is an upcoming concept in the anaesthesia specially being used in case of paediatrics patients. Post operative analgesia increases the chances of early recovery , better prognosis and hence early discharge from the hospital. In this study, two methods of post operatiove analgesia will be used , one being USG guided transversus abdominis plane block other being USG guided caudal block. Then comparison will be made between them regarding the duration of postoperative analgesia achieved and requirement of analgesic in the first 24 hours of post operative period.
