Summary After umbilical hernia surgery, and wound infiltration with bupivacaine 0.5%, 17 children were given ketorolac 0.5 mg·kg −1 , with 18 controls receiving only the wound infiltration. No child experienced severe pain, but moderate pain was noted in patients in both groups. Objective and subjective pain scores were not different statistically at any point up to the morning after surgery.
