Transversus Abdominis Plane Lock Versus Quadratus Lumborum Block in Children

Although abdominal wall surgeries are also as routinely performed on pediatric patients, postoperative pain in children has remained under-researched compared to adults. Consequently, there has been a growing need for adapting regional analgesia to this distinct population. While the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAPB) and Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) have been established as potent sensory blocks in adult practice, data on their efficiency in pediatric abdominal parietal surgeries remain scarce. The investigators aimed to compare the analgesic effect of lateral TAPB versus posterior QLB in children undergoing elective abdominal wall surgery.
