A comparison of caudal bupivacaine and ketamine with penile block for paediatric circumcision

Abstract

Caudal bupivacaine with ketamine and penile block both provide effective postoperative analgesia for circumcision when given with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This study shows that caudal bupivacaine with ketamine provides a longer duration of analgesia than penile block, but also causes delay in walking.
