Stopped: we couldn't find enough patient.
Primary Outcome: Analgesic Efficiency: The primary outcome is the comparison of the analgesic efficacy of the retrolaminar block (RL) versus caudal block (CB) based on postoperative pain scores measured by the FLACC score. This outcome aims to evaluate how effectively each block controls postoperative pain. Secondary Outcomes: Analgesic Requirements: The amount of analgesic required within the first 24 hours postoperatively. The time to the first analgesic requirement. These will be recorded during postoperative follow-up visits at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours by an anesthesiologist who is blinded to the study groups. Postoperative Complications: Urinary Retention: Defined as a distended palpable bladder associated with pain. Motor Block: The presence of lower extremity motor block will be evaluated using the modified Bromage scale (0: No motor block; 1: Able to move the legs; 2: Unable to move the legs). Ecchymosis and Hematoma: The presence of ecchymosis (discoloration of the skin due to blood infiltration in the subcutaneous tissues) and hematoma (abnormal swelling or hardening caused by the accumulation of blood) at the injection site will be assessed.
