Ultrasound-Guided ONB for Transurethral Procedures - Interadductor Approach

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2017-12-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Obturator nerve block is an effective method to prevent adductor muscles contraction during transurethral resection of bladder tumour localized on the lateral wall. Due to prior spinal anaesthesia the patient does not feel uncomfortable during the blockade and the interadductor approach gives the possibility to perform it in the lithotomy position. The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided obturator nerve identification and blockade for TURBT.
