Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Randomized clinical trial comparing effectiveness of intracorpus spongiosum block versus topical anesthesia for performing visual internal urethrotomy for urethral stricture disease.
To compare the efficacy and safety of intracorpus spongiosum block (ICSB) over topical anesthesia for performing visual internal urethrotomy (VIU) in a randomized clinical trial. ⋯ ICSB is safe and more effective than topical anesthesia for providing pain relief during VIU. This should become the local anesthesia technique of choice for performing VIU.
