Ultrasound-Guided Pudendal vs Dorsal Penile Nerve Block for Pediatric Hypospadias Surgery

7 maja 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Kazi Mahzabin Arin, Bangladesh Medical University

Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Pudendal Versus Dorsal Penile Nerve Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Paediatric Hypospadias Surgery

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness and safety of two regional anesthesia techniques, ultrasound-guided pudendal nerve block and dorsal penile nerve block, for postoperative pain management in children undergoing hypospadias surgery.

The main questions we aim to answer are:

Which technique provides more effective pain relief after surgery? What are the potential side effects or complications associated with each technique?

Participants will:

Receive either an Ultrasound-guided pudendal nerve block or a dorsal penile nerve block in combination with general anesthesia after surgery.

Participants will be monitored for pain levels using a pediatric pain scale Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) and their overall recovery for the first 24 hours post-surgery.

Have their total analgesic consumption and vital signs recorded during the recovery period.

This study will help improve postoperative pain management strategies for pediatric hypospadias surgery by evaluating these two anesthesia techniques.

Przegląd badań

Szczegółowy opis

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided pudendal nerve block (USG-PNB) and dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) for postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias repair surgery. Both techniques are regional anesthesia methods used to manage postoperative pain, but they differ in the sensory regions they target. The study seeks to determine which of these two techniques provides more effective pain relief and assess any associated complications.

A total of 60 pediatric patients, aged 1 to 6 years, undergoing hypospadias surgery under general anesthesia will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the USG-PNB or DPNB after induction of anesthesia. The primary outcome of the study is the first postoperative analgesic requirement, measured using the Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) pain scale. Secondary outcomes include time to first analgesic requirement, postoperative pain intensity at different time points, total analgesic consumption within the first 24 hours, and the monitoring of hemodynamic parameters, including heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and complications related to either nerve block technique.

Patients will be monitored in the post-anesthetic care unit for 24 hours, during which pain levels and vital signs will be recorded.

By comparing the two regional anesthesia techniques, this study will contribute to improving postoperative pain management strategies, with a focus on minimizing side effects and improving recovery times in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias surgery.

Interwencja / Leczenie
Eksperymentalny: Ultrasound-Guided Pudendal Nerve Block Group
In this arm, participants will receive ultrasound-guided pudendal nerve block (PNB) for postoperative pain management following hypospadias surgery. The procedure involves the administration of 0.25% bupivacaine (0.2-0.5 mL/kg) mixed with 0.05 mg/kg dexamethasone to block the pudendal nerve. The block will be performed under direct ultrasound visualization after induction of general anesthesia, targeting the perineal area, including both superficial and deeper penile tissues. The effects of this intervention will be compared to the dorsal penile nerve block group in terms of postoperative pain relief and analgesic consumption.
This intervention involves the use of ultrasound guidance to perform a pudendal nerve block for postoperative pain relief in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias surgery. The procedure targets the pudendal nerve, which provides sensory innervation to the perineal area, including the genitalia. The block is performed by injecting a mixture of 0.25% bupivacaine and dexamethasone under ultrasound visualization, ensuring precise placement of the needle. This method aims to provide comprehensive analgesia for both superficial and deeper tissues, reducing the need for additional systemic analgesics and improving postoperative recovery.
Aktywny komparator: Ultrasound-Guided Dorsal Penile Nerve Block Group

Ultrasound-Guided Dorsal Penile Nerve Block Group:

In this arm, participants will receive ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) for postoperative pain management following hypospadias surgery. The procedure involves the administration of 0.25% bupivacaine (0.5 mL/kg) mixed with 0.05 mg/kg dexamethasone, targeting the dorsal penile nerve. The block will be performed under direct ultrasound visualization at the penoscrotal junction, focusing on the distal penile region. The effects of this intervention will be compared to the pudendal nerve block group in terms of postoperative pain relief and analgesic consumption

This intervention involves the use of ultrasound guidance to perform a dorsal penile nerve block for postoperative pain management in pediatric patients undergoing hypospadias surgery. The procedure targets the dorsal penile nerve, which innervates the distal part of the penis. Under ultrasound visualization, a mixture of 0.25% bupivacaine and dexamethasone is injected near the nerve to provide localized analgesia. This block is designed to alleviate pain in the distal penile area but may not offer as broad a sensory coverage as the pudendal nerve block, particularly for deeper tissues.

Ramy czasowe
Postoperative pain intensity by using Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale
Ramy czasowe: From the end of surgery to 24 hours post-surgery This includes assessments of postoperative pain intensity using the FLACC scale at various time points, starting immediately after surgery and continuing at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-surgery

The primary outcome measure of this study is the postoperative pain intensity, which will be assessed using the Face, Leg, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale. This scale is designed to evaluate pain in young children who cannot verbally communicate their discomfort. It consists of five categories:

Face: The facial expression of the child (e.g., no expression, occasional grimace, or frequent grimace).

Legs: The position of the child's legs (e.g., relaxed, tense, or kicking). Activity: The child's level of activity (e.g., lying quietly, squirming, or arching).

Cry: The type and frequency of crying (e.g., no cry, occasional complaints, or crying steadily).

Consolability: How easily the child can be comforted (e.g., content, reassured by touch, or difficult to console).

Each category is scored from 0 to 2, with a total score ranging from 0 to 10. A higher score indicates higher pain intensity.

From the end of surgery to 24 hours post-surgery This includes assessments of postoperative pain intensity using the FLACC scale at various time points, starting immediately after surgery and continuing at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-surgery
