    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Neurology

    Context:

    • The obturator nerve's proximity to the bladder during transurethral operations poses a risk.
    • Stimulation can lead to violent adductor muscle contractions, complicating procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To review all techniques developed for managing obturator nerve stimulation during transurethral surgery.
    • To provide practical recommendations for preventing complications.

    Summary:

    • Transurethral surgery carries the risk of obturator nerve stimulation, causing adductor contractions and potential complications like bladder perforation.
    • Techniques reviewed include neuromuscular blockade, electrical modifications, nerve blocks (periprostatic, subvesical, obturator nerve, and "3 in 1 block").

    Impact:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Improved understanding of obturator nerve management in transurethral surgery.
  • Enhanced surgical safety and reduced complication rates through evidence-based technique selection.
