Summary
Nowadays, TRUS biopsy become one of the most popular tests for diagnosis of prostate cancer.
This procedure causes pain to the patients who does not received the sedative drugs or
analgesic drugs. There are many ways to reduce pain and inconvenience for the patients, such
as intravenous propofol, intravenous fentanyl etc. In Siriraj hospital, anesthesiologists
usually give intravenous propofol with intravenous opioids but the visual analogue score
after this procedure was average at 0.9-2.9. Furthermore, some systematic reviews have shown
that there was no difference in pain score between periprostatic nerve block plus opioid and
periprostatic nerve block only. So, this study is to find out whether opioids is need for
TRUS biopsy.
