The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of caudal block and sacral espb used as a postoperative analgesia method in urogenital pediatric surgery cases.
The parents of the patients who will undergo urogenital surgery will be included in the study after being informed and written consent is obtained. They will be randomised and divided into two groups. After general anaesthesia, sacral espb will be performed in the 1st group and caudal block will be performed in the 2nd group and postoperative pain will be evaluated with Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score.

Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) score
The FLACC is an observational pain scale. It is widely used in the paediatric population to assess pain in infants and children who are unable to verbally express their pain.Each category is scored on the 0-2 scale which results in a total score of 0-10.
Time frame: baseline ,and 24 hours
Analgesic requirement
If the FLACC\>4 and above rescue analgesics will be made
Time frame: baseline, and 24 hours
