Comparison of Intraoperative and Early Postoperative Outcomes of Caudal vs Dorsal Penile Nerve Blocks for Outpatient Penile Surgeries

To compare intraoperative and 1-hour postoperative outcomes in caudal vs dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) patients undergoing penile surgeries. We performed a retrospective cohort study of boys 3. Secondary outcomes were intraoperative-postanesthesia care unit (PACU) narcotics, preincision anesthesi...

Description
Summary:To compare intraoperative and 1-hour postoperative outcomes in caudal vs dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) patients undergoing penile surgeries. We performed a retrospective cohort study of boys 3. Secondary outcomes were intraoperative-postanesthesia care unit (PACU) narcotics, preincision anesthesia time, adjusted operating room charges, and complications. We performed bivariate and multivariable analyses controlling for demographic and procedural characteristics and clustering by surgeon. Of 738 patients (mean age 2.1 years), 74.1% had a caudal block. DPNB patients were more likely to have a maximum pain score of >3 (19.5% vs 8.1%, P
