    Neonatal circumcision pain can be managed with a simple dorsal penile nerve block. This anesthesia technique is safe, easy to learn, and reduces infant pain without increasing complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Anesthesiology
    • Neonatal Care

    Background:

    • Neonatal circumcision is a common procedure often performed with inadequate pain management.
    • Infants undergoing circumcision experience significant pain, impacting their well-being.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a superficial dorsal penile nerve block for pain relief during neonatal circumcision.
    • To promote the adoption of effective anesthesia techniques in neonatal circumcision.

    Main Methods:

    • A superficial dorsal penile nerve block was administered to 109 infants prior to circumcision.
    • The technique was assessed for ease of learning and impact on procedural morbidity.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The dorsal penile nerve block is a simple, easily learned procedure.
  • This anesthesia technique did not increase the morbidity associated with neonatal circumcision.
  • Infants benefited from pain reduction during the procedure.

    • Conclusions:

    • Superficial dorsal penile nerve block is a safe and effective method for managing pain during neonatal circumcision.
    • This anesthesia technique should be routinely implemented before neonatal circumcision to improve infant care.
