Brief Summary   This randomzied controlled study is being conducted at SMS Medical College and attached Hospitals, Jaipur to evaluate efficacy of Ultrasound guided novel sacral erector spinae block for post operative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair . A total of 66 patients will be enrolled and randomized into two groups (Group A with block and Group B with no block). Parameters such as postoperative analgesic consumption, time to first rescue analgesic and pain assessment using FLACC score will be recorded at predefined time intervals. The aim is to assess whether Ultrasound guided novel sacral erector spinae block provide adequate postoperative analgesia, thereby supporting safer anesthetic practices of pain management in hypospadias repair surgery.
