Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the difference in the pain in children aged 1 to 15 years undergoing open pyeloplasty or simple nephrectomy, after receiving single injection of either erector spinae plane block or paravertebral block intra operatively.Timepoint: upto 48 hours postoperatively	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the effect of the blocks on hemodynamic changes from baseline, during skin incision, at 15 minutes interval intraoperatively till the procedure is over.Timepoint: intraoperatively;To compare the time needed to perform the blocks under ultrasound.Timepoint: intraoperatively;To compare the time to first post operative rescue analgesia and the total dose of post operative analgesics needed in the first 48 hours after operation in both groups.Timepoint: upto 48 hours postoperatively	—
