Response - NO
Brief Summary   The major responsibility of the anesthesiologist is to provide adequate surgical anesthesia and postoperative analgesia for patients with minimum complications .Caudal  epidural block is the most commonly performed method of regional anesthesia technique in pediatric group ,owing to its ease of performance ,short learning curve and safety .the most encountered complications are block failure , blood aspiration and intravascular injections.
Quadratus lumborum block entails deposition of the local anesthetic around the fascial planes of the quadratus muscle to block the somatic thoracolumbur nerves and the sympathetic trunk through the paravertebral route, providing extensive spread.
Hence we aim to investigate the analgesic effect of posterior quadratus lumborum block with caudal block in children undergoing lower abdominal surgeries.
