Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Caudal block  The child is placed in lateral position. After cleaning and draping, a high frequency linear probe is placed transversely over the sacral cornu and the caudal canal is identified. The probe is then turned by 90 degrees. A 5cm needle is then inserted into the the caudal space using in-plane technique. After entering the caudal canal, 1.25ml/kg of 0.2% ropivacaine with 1:200000 adrenaline is injected after negative aspiration, under real time visualisation. 
Intervention  Paravertebral block  The child is placed in lateral position. After cleaning and draping, a high-frequency linear probe is placed longitudinally over the T9/T10/T11 spinous processes. The probe is then moved laterally to identify the transverse processes. the paraertebral space is identified. Placing the probe in oblique position, the paravertebral is approached using an in-plane technique using a 19G Tuohy needle. 0.5ml/kg of 0.2% ropivacaine with 1:200000 adrenaline is injected after negative aspiration, under real time visualisation.
