Penile prosthetic surgery under local anesthesia

J J Kaufman

    The Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Local anesthesia, including pudendal block and local infiltration, is effective for penile prosthesis surgery. This approach minimizes the need for general anesthesia, enhancing patient safety and recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Anesthesiology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Penile prostheses are a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
    • General anesthesia poses risks, especially for certain patient populations.
    • Exploring effective local anesthesia techniques is crucial for patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of local anesthesia for penile prosthesis implantation.
    • To describe a technique utilizing pudendal block and local infiltration.
    • To assess the necessity of general anesthesia supplementation.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of a surgical technique involving local anesthesia.
    • Application of pudendal block and intracorporeal/local infiltration.
    • Review of 141 cases undergoing penile prosthesis surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Local anesthesia (pudendal block, local infiltration) proved effective for semirigid rod and inflatable penile prostheses.
    • General anesthesia supplementation was rarely required.
    • The described technique was successfully applied in 141 cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Local anesthesia is a safe and effective option for penile prosthesis surgery.
    • Pudendal block and local infiltration offer excellent anesthesia coverage.
    • Minimizing general anesthesia reduces surgical risks and improves patient outcomes.
