Summary
One of the most frequent surgical procedures in the pediatric population is circumcision, following which postoperative pain could be stressful. Usually, the most common approach is combining regional anesthesia techniques such as landmark dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) with general anesthesia (GA). The hypothesis of this study investigates ultrasound-guided DPNB plus sedation in spontaneous breathing.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PROCEDURE | Ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve block | This block is performed by the anesthesiologist, after sedation. With an in-plane approach, the tissues around the dorsal penis nerves are visualized. The needle has to pass through Buck's fascia and there the local anesthetic is released. |
