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.
