Popis: | Objective To determine whether spinal anesthesia combined with obturator nerve blockade (SOB) is effective in preventing obturator nerve stimulation, jerking and bladder perforation during transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Material and methods In this clinical trial, 30 patients were randomly divided into two groups: spinal anesthesia (SA) and SOB. In SA group, 2.5 cc of 0.5% bupivacaine was injected intrathecally using a 25-gauge spinal needle and in SOB after spinal anesthesia, a classic obturator nerve blockade was performed by using nerve stimulation technique. Results There was a statistically significant difference between jerking in both groups (p=0.006). During the TURBT, surgeon satisfaction was significantly higher in SOB group compared to SA group (p=0.006). There was no significant correlation between sex, patient age and location of bladder tumor between the groups (p>0.05). Conclusion Obturator nerve blockade by using 15 cc lidocaine 1% is effective in preventing adductor muscle spasms during TURBT. |
