Comparison of caudal ketamine with lidocaine or tramadol administration for postoperative analgesia of hypospadias surgery in children

Background:  This study was designed to investigate whether the addition of tramadol or lidocaine to ketamine would enhance the quality of intra‐ and postoperative analgesia for hypospadias surgery in children.
