  A Prospective Randomised Controlled Trial, Comparison of Two Techniques of Obturator Nerve Block during Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour (TURBT)
  Author(s): Rahul Gupta*
  
  Background and aims: Obturator nerve traverses close to the posterolateral surface of urinary bladder during its course in the pelvis. During Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour (TURBT), its stimulation leads to obturator jerk due to contraction of the muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh. Obturator jerk is a risk factor for bladder wall perforation and may even lead to injury to surrounding pelvic vessels. Obturator nerve block prevents the stimulation of nerve during TURBT. We designed this study to compare two techniques of obturator nerve blocks i.e., landmark guided inguinal technique and transvesical technique to determine the efficacy of obturator nerve block during transurethral resection of bladder tumour. Method: This randomised, single-blind controlled trial was conducted after ethical approval in patients.. View More»
