Summary
Caudal block is the regional anesthetic technique that is used most frequently in pediatric
surgery. Opioid drugs have been added to local anesthetic solutions to prolong duration of
analgesia but ideal combination were not found that has minimal adverse effect. The aim of
this study was to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of equal concentrations of
bupivacaine plus tramadol or levobupivacaine plus tramadol in pediatric patients undergoing
minor urological surgery.
