About this trial
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) compares the analgesic effectiveness of two regional anesthesia techniques-Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block combined with Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block (LFCB) versus Lumbar and Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Blocks (L-ESPB and S-ESPB)-in pediatric patients undergoing hip surgery.

Written informed consent obtained from the patient's legal guardian(s).
Disqualifiers
Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study medications
Presence of infection or inflammation at the intended injection site(s) of regional anesthesia.
Coagulopathy or bleeding disorders (including patients on anticoagulant therapy) that contraindicate nerve blocks.

Numerical Rating Scale [range 0:10]
Postoperative pain assessment will be performed using the NRS score (0 = no pain, 10 = the most severe pain felt)
