Ultrasound-Guided Dorsal Penile Nerve Block in Children : An Anatomical-Based Observational Study of a New Anesthesia Technique
Dorsal penile nerve block stands out as one of the commonly employed regional anesthetic techniques in children. Despite the large body of experience, failure rates are still significant. We included 20 children (median (SD) age of 73 (31) months) scheduled for circumcision without general anesthesia and secondary airway manipulation in a consecutive case series. Under ultrasound guidance and utilizing an in-plane needle guidance technique, the dorsal penile nerve block was administered with slight sedation, and spontaneous respiration was maintained in all cases. To investigate the underlying anatomy for dorsal penile nerve blockade, we dissected three cadavers. The primary study endpoint was the success rate of surgical blockade, meaning that the surgical procedure could be performed without additional general anesthesia and invasive airway management. The secondary endpoint was the requirement of analgesics until discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit. The primary endpoint was successfully met in all patients according to our strict definition without additional general anesthesia or airway manipulation. In addition, no child received analgesics until discharge from the recovery room. The anatomical investigation clarified the specific anatomy as baseline knowledge for an ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve blockade and enabled successful performance in 20 consecutive children where penile surgery was possible in light sedation without additional airway manipulation.
