Brief Summary   This will be a randomized prospective study which will be done to compare caudal anaesthesia and ilioinguinal block for paediatric inguinal surgeries and postoperative analgesia. The study will be carried out in 60 children of ASA grade I and II who will be divided into two groups of 30 each. Group A will be given caudal block, group B will be given illioinguinal/illiohypogastric block, both using combination of ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine. Both groups will be compared with respect to effect on efficacy and duration of postoperative analgesia and any complication if seen. The observations will be recorded on the proforma and the results will be statistically analysed in two groups.
