Numbing blocks for pain relief after children's belly surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before surgery to see which one controls pain better in children after lower belly surgery. If your child qualifies, they may receive one of these blocks to help them be more comfortable after the operation.
