Advantages Of Periprostatic Nerve Block In Transrectal Ultrasound Guided Prostate Biopsy

Objective:To investigate the effect of anesthesia with periprostatic nerve block on pain relief of transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.Methods:Totally,101 patients who received transrectal prostate biopsy for the first time in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were included,and divided randomly into two groups.Group-A,50 cases,accepted the combination of intrarectal local anesthesia and periprostatic nerve block,while Group-B,51 cases,only accepted intrarectal local anesthesia.The pain was assessed by pain visual analogue scoring method.The recorded times were as follows: after the ultrasonic probe entered the rectum,during prostate puncture process and 15 minutes after prostate puncture.Complications were also evaluated.Results:Pain and discomfort was significantly lower during prostate biopsy in Group A than in Group B.No significant differences were detected in the side effects between the two groups.Conclusion:1?When the periprostate nerve block was used in prostate puncture biopsy,the incidence of complications did not increase significantly.2?Periprostatic nerve block is effective in alleviating the pain during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.
