Summary

This trial is testing a new way to numb the chest and stomach during surgery. They want to see if it decreases pain and the amount of pain medication needed afterwards.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and teenagers aged 2-17 who are having surgery to correct ear deformities using rib cartilage. They must be able to agree to the study themselves if they're over 7, or have their parents' consent.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new pain-blocking technique called Erector Spinae Plane Block in kids and teens undergoing ear surgeries with rib cartilage grafts. It aims to see if this method reduces pain and the need for strong painkillers after surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, regional anesthesia techniques like ESP blocks may cause discomfort at the injection site, itching, or numbness beyond the targeted area.
