Comment on "Dexmedetomidine versus clonidine adjuvants to levobupivacaine for ultrasound ‐guided transversus abdominis plane block in paediatric laparoscopic orchiopexy: Randomized, double‐blind study"

AbstractWe read with great interest the study by Dr Mostafa and colleagues comparing dexmedetomidine and clonidine for ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in paediatric laparoscopic orchiopexy in a well-designed, multi-arm randomized controlled trial. The authors concluded that clonidine may be substituted for dexmedetomidine with a local anesthetic during TAP block for pediatric laparoscopy because of easy availability and lower cost (Mostafa et al., 2021).
