Summary
To investigate whether the addition of intravenous paracetamol with caudal ropivacaine leads to better quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing hypospadius repair than caudal ropivacaine alone. The quality of recovery will be judged by postoperative analgesia requirement and lesser agitation in the postoperative period.
