Ultrasound Guided Pudendal Block in Transurethral Prostatectomies

The pudendal nerve conveys sensory, motor, sympathetic fibres to the perineum, bladder neck and proximal urethra. Pain management during transurethral procedures is a major concern.Patients who have been catheterized under anesthesia complained of urgency in the postoperative period because of catheter-related bladder irritation. We want to investigate that the effect of pudendal block to postoperative pain, bladder spasm and patient comfort in transurethral prostatectomies
