The authors study the efficacy of the pudendal versus penile block for the relief of postoperative pain in children receiving ambulatory circumcision. In this prospective, double-blind, randomized, parallel-arm trial, 60 children recruited during the anesthesia consultation will be allocated a general anesthesia with a pudendal block (PUD group) or a penile block (PEN group). Each block will be made with equal parts lidocaine 1% and ropivacaine 0.75% (0.3 ml/kg).
