- Abstract
Objective • To investigate the application effects of prostate perineural block combined with pudendal nerve block under transrectal ultrasound guidance in transrectal prostate biopsy. Methods • Ninety patients who underwent their first transrectal prostate biopsy from November 2021 to July 2022 were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups: Group A received prostate perineural block, Group B received intrathecal anesthesia, and Group C received pudendal nerve block combined with prostate perineural block. Perioperative indicators, pain levels, and occurrence of complications were compared among the three groups. Results • Regarding perioperative indicators, after 5 minutes of anesthesia, Group B had the lowest mean arterial pressure (MAP) (P < .05), while Group A had the highest MAP (P < .05). The VAS scores in Groups B and C were lower than that in Group A during probe insertion, prostate puncture, and 2 hours after biopsy (P < .05). There were no significant differences in the occurrence of complications among the three groups (P > .05). Conclusion • Compared to intrathecal anesthesia, the combination of prostate perineural block and pudendal nerve block provided more stable hemodynamics after 5 minutes of anesthesia. It effectively controlled pain compared to prostate perineural block alone. Nerve block anesthesia facilitated earlier postoperative ambulation, making it suitable for day surgery and in line with the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery concept. Additionally, it had no complications and can be considered for wider application.
