Randomized Controlled TrialTransvesical blockade of the obturator nerve to prevent adductor contraction in transurethral bladder surgery.
To evaluate the efficacy of transvesical obturator nerve block (ONB) in the prevention of obturator nerve reflex and leg jerking during transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT). ⋯ Local blockade of the obturator nerve during cystoscopy is an effective method to avoid its stimulation in TURBT. It can be performed easily, and we did not experience any serious complication.
