We aimed to analyze whether there is a difference in postoperative pain scores and setup time (start of anesthesia management to incision time) when comparing caudal block (CB) with local wound infiltration.

Materials And Methods:  We enrolled pediatric outpatients scheduled for inguinal procedures.
