Ultrasound Guided Penile Block vs Pudendal Block for Hypospadias

Ultrasound Guided Dorsal Penile Block vs Neurostimulator Guided Pudendal Block in Children Undergoing Hypospadias Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Trial

Pain after hypospadias surgery is a challenging issue to solve for anesthesists. Many different analgesia techniques were defined in literature for this purpose. The investigators have implemented application of ultrasound guided dorsal penile nerve block into practice for these type of surgeries. Main purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of nerve stimulator guided pudendal nerve block with ultrasound guided dorsal penile nerve block for postoperative analgesia after hypospadias surgery.
