No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) according to Dalens' technique by using local anesthetics (LAs) is a fundamental part of a multimodal analgesic approach following circumcision. Ropivacaine has a favorable cardiovascular and neurological toxicity profile. However, its application in DPNB is limited because of the theoretical concerns about its vasoconstrictive properties and the potential risks of ischemia of the glans. The aim is to evaluate the incidence of necrosis of the glans penis and the safety profile of ropivacaine following its use in the DPNB in a large pediatric population.
