Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Anesthesiology
  • Regional Anesthesia Techniques

Background:

  • The dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) is a widely used regional anesthesia for pediatric circumcisions.
  • Concerns regarding DPNB safety have arisen due to reported complications.

Observation:

  • A retrospective review analyzed incidents associated with DPNB over 53 months.
  • Nine incidents were recorded during 3909 circumcisions performed under DPNB.

Findings:

  • Incidents included bleeding, urethral injuries, hematomas, and drug errors.
  • Two cases necessitated surgical intervention, but all patients achieved full recovery without lasting effects.

Implications:

  • DPNB demonstrates a favorable safety profile for pediatric circumcisions.
  • This technique is considered safe for routine use in infants and children.
