Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

One of the most frequent surgical procedures in the pediatric population is circumcision, following which postoperative pain could be stressful. Usually, the most common approach is combining regional anesthesia techniques such as landmark dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) with general anesthesia (GA). The hypothesis of this study investigates ultrasound-guided DPNB plus sedation in spontaneous breathing.

LANDMARK

The children who underwent circumcision received general anesthesia plus dorsal penis nerve block performed by the surgeon with a landmark technique.

No interventions assigned to this group

ULTRASOUND

The children who underwent circumcision received sedation (in spontaneous breathing) plus ultrasound-guided dorsal penis nerve block.

Ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve block

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

This block is performed by the anesthesiologist, after sedation. With an in-plane approach, the tissues around the dorsal penis nerves are visualized. The needle has to pass through Buck's fascia and there the local anesthetic is released.
