A modified penile block technique significantly reduces pain during adult circumcision. This improved method ensures patients are virtually pain-free, unlike the classic penile block, offering better surgical analgesia.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Penile block is standard for adult circumcision.
  • The classic penile block technique often provides inadequate pain relief.
  • Persistent pain in the prepuce region is a common issue with the classic method.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a modified penile block technique for adult circumcision.
  • To compare the efficacy of the modified penile block versus the classic technique in managing intraoperative pain.
  • To assess patient comfort during and after the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A modified penile block involving local anesthetic infiltration along the penile raphe up to the prepuce was developed.
  • Group 1 (30 patients) received the classic penile block technique.

  • Group 2 (100 patients) received the modified penile block technique for circumcision.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients undergoing the modified penile block (group 2) experienced significantly less frequent and less intense pain during circumcision compared to the classic technique (group 1).
    • Patients in group 2 were reported as practically pain-free during the procedure.
    • Discomfort levels during block placement and in the postoperative period were comparable between both groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified penile block technique offers superior intraoperative analgesia for adult circumcision compared to the classic method.
    • This enhanced technique effectively minimizes pain sensation in the prepuce region.
    • The modified penile block is recommended for adult circumcision to improve patient outcomes and comfort.
