Brief Summary  
Caudal epidural block is one of the most common regional techniques in paediatric anesthesia .Caudal block is a safe and reliable technique, easy to perform and has been foundto be very effective in children,we will conduct this study to compare two different dosages, 1μg/kg dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine during caudal epidural block which has been proved to increase analgesia duration in comparison with 0.5μg/kg dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant for duration of postoperative analgesia ,hemodynamic changes and adverse effects.
