Ultrasound Guided Penile Block vs Pudendal Block for Hypospadias

November 23, 2018 updated by: Can AKSU, Kocaeli University

Ultrasound Guided Dorsal Penile Block vs Neurostimulator Guided Pudendal Block in Children Undergoing Hypospadias Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Trial

Pain after hypospadias surgery is a challenging issue to solve for anesthesists. Many different analgesia techniques were defined in literature for this purpose. The investigators have implemented application of ultrasound guided dorsal penile nerve block into practice for these type of surgeries. Main purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of nerve stimulator guided pudendal nerve block with ultrasound guided dorsal penile nerve block for postoperative analgesia after hypospadias surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to first analgesic
Time Frame: postoperative 7 day
First need for rescue analgesic after the surgery will be recorded

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain Scores
Time Frame: postoperative 48 hour
FLACC scale will be used. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale or FLACC scale is a measurement used to assess pain for children between the ages of 2 months and 7 years or individuals that are unable to communicate their pain. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain. The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a score of 0, 1 or 2.
