Evaluating Pain Outcomes of Caudal vs Ilioinguinal Nerve Block in Children Undergoing Orchiopexy Repair

Alberta Children's Hospital·interventional·Posted Feb 3, 2017·Updated Feb 16, 2022

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block, Caudal-epidural nerve block, and 9 other interventions for Testicle Undescended and Pain, Postoperative. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Surgical intervention to treat undescended testis is a very common pediatric surgical procedure, often performed using an inguinal incision or subscrotal incision approach. Children who undergo orchiopexy can suffer from a significant degree of discomfort postoperatively. The investigators are evaluating the effectiveness of an ultrasound guided caudal-epidural (CE) block to an US guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric (IIG/IHG) nerve block in achieving post operative analgesia following a orchiopexy repair. It is hypothesized that US guided IIG/IHG nerve block leads to more effective pain control post-operatively while in hospital relative to an US guided CE block for orchiopexy surgery.
