This study aims to evaluate the treatment response and lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of patients who have undergone pulsed radiofrequency therapy for chronic radicular lumbar pain at the dorsal root ganglia. By comparing young (18-64 years) and geriatric (≥65 years) patient groups, the study seeks to assess the impact of age on treatment response and opioid consumption. Additionally, it aims to analyze the potential relationship between paraspinal muscle fat infiltration and treatment outcomes.

The aims of the study are as follows:To examine postoperative opioid consumption.To assess the effectiveness of external oblique intercostal plane block in managing postoperative pain in nephrectomy patients.To evaluate pain at postoperative hours 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).To assess pain increase with movement and effort at postoperative hours 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 using NRS.

Urogenital surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the pediatric patient population. There is no consensus on which analgesic method is most effective for pain control in these patients. In clinical practice, if there are no contraindications, caudal block or penile block combined with intravenous fentanyl can be preferred as an analgesic method.
In this study, the results of these two analgesia methods will be compared with the research.Randomly selected participants will be compared by looking at parameters such as postoperative questionnaire results, walking time and urination time.
