Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block (IIHB) in children undergoing surgery for inguinal hernias.
Material And Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched to January 4, 2024. For continuous data, the effect sizes were presented as weighted mean differences (WMDs), and for categorical data, they were reported as relative ratios (RR), each accompanied by 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Introduction: Caudal block is an effective regional anesthesia technique for perineal surgeries but is associated with various adverse effects. Recently, pudendal nerve block has emerged as a promising alternative for these procedures. This study assessed the effectiveness of a novel transperineal technique for ultrasound-guided pudendal nerve block and compares it with ultrasound-guided caudal block for perineal surgeries in pediatric patients.

The ultrasound-guided cervical plexus plane (US-CPP) block has proven effective in humans; yet its application in dogs remains unexplored. This study aimed to describe a novel US-CPP approach in canines. A local sonoanatomy was mapped, the injection technique was tested, and a gross anatomical dissection (GAD) was performed on one cadaver.

Introduction: A single injection of local anesthetic as a caudal epidural block provides pain relief for 2-4 hours. This duration can be extended by adding adjuvants such as opioids (morphine, fentanyl, buprenorphine, tramadol), ketamine, α2 agonists (dexmedetomidine, clonidine), and adrenaline. Caudal analgesia also reduces the need for intravenous opioids during and after surgery, which helps avoid the systemic side effects of opioids.

Background: The drug volume to be used in caudal in pediatric patients has remained an unmet issue since long. We determined the minimum drug volume required to reach T10 level in pediatric patients using ultrasonography and compared it with the already established volume by Armitage formula.
Aim: To determine the minimum effective caudal local anesthetic dose using ultrasound guidance.
