Summary

This study assesses differences in the effects of pelvic plexus block and periprostatic nerve block among various anesthetic methods that reduce the pain caused by prostate biopsy.

Detailed description

Recently, various types of local anesthetic methods have been attempted to reduce biopsy-related pain leading to changes in the type of anesthetic agents and site of injection. Of these anesthetics and combinations, pelvic plexus block and periprostatic nerve block seem to be the very effective way to control prostate biopsy-related pain. However, few studies have compared these two methods.

Conditions

• Transrectal Systematic Prostate Biopsy Related Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Pelvic plexus block	Injections of 2.5 mL of 2% lidocaine were made to the pelvic neurovascular plexus located at the end of the seminal vesicle under Doppler US guidance on each side
PROCEDURE	Periprostatic nerve block	Injections of 2.5 mL of 2% lidocaine were made to the neurovascular bundles at the junction of the prostate-bladder-seminal vesicle on each side.
