Ultrasound-guided erector spina plan block was performed for patients in group E for postoperative analgesia. The patients were placed in the lateral decubitus position and the linear ultrasound probe was placed longitudinally into the sterilized area 1-2 cm lateral to the spinous process of the L1 vertebra. After visualizing the erector spina muscle and the transverse process, the transverse process was reached by pushing forward the 22 gauge, 50 mm needle in the direction from cranial to caudal. Hydrodissection was performed with 1 ml of saline for confirmation. 0.5 mL kg-1 dose of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected under the erector spina muscle at the level of the 1st lumbar vertebra by aspiration every 2 mL.
The patients in group C underwent ultrasound guided caudal block for postoperative analgesia. By placing the patients in the lateral decubitus position, the linear ultrasound probe was placed longitudinally on the sterilized area on the midline of the sacrum, and access was provided with a 2.5 cm 22 gauge needle on the dorsal skin of the sacral hiatus at a 90° position. The sacrococcygeal ligament was crossed, the needle was oriented approximately 25° and advanced approximately 2 to 3 mm to reach the sacral canal. When it was understood that the sacral hiatus had been entered, 0.5 mL kg-1 0.25% bupivacaine was injected by aspirating every 2 mL after the location was confirmed with the negative aspiration method.
