Comment Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial[Comparative study between 5% prilocaine and 2% mepivacaine by the subarachnoid route in transurethral resections].
To compare the duration of spinal block with 5% prilocaine and 2% mepivacaine in short procedures for transurethral resection and to assess possible complications in the immediate postoperative period. ⋯ Both local anesthetics offer good surgical conditions with hemodynamic stability and few complications. The duration of sensory and motor blockade is shorter with prilocaine than with mepivacaine, making prilocaine more appropriate for short interventions.
