Hypospadias is one of the most common genitourinary (GU) malformations, seen in approximately 1 of 250 male live births. Common methods of local anesthesia administration for hypospadias surgery include caudal and dorsal penile nerve blocks. While both methods are known to be effective with minimal risk, the effect on post-operative complications is not well-established. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate if caudal versus dorsal penile nerve block results in higher rates of post-operative complications.
