“…ver the past decade, many studies have reported on the use of nerve block as local anesthesia for a variety of penile surgeries (Rowan and Howley, 1967;Kirya and Werthmann, 1978;Brown et al, 1989;Stav et al, 1995;Leach, 1996;Dunn and Harris, 1997;Ghanem and Fouad, 2000). However, the most common anesthetic method used for penile surgeries is still general or spinal anesthesia.…”

Although topical anesthetic blockage for penile surgeries has been substantially reported in the medical literature, its methodology, reliability, and reproducibility have not been consistent. We report on several methods of topical blocks for local anesthesia in patients with indications for penile surgeries. From March 1993 to March 2003, a total of 1131 men, ages 19 to 87, underwent penile surgeries in which 165, 203, 708, 45, and 10 patients received penile implantation, modified Nesbit procedure, venous surgery, venous patches, and arterial revascularization respectively, under pure local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. They were categorized into the implant, Nesbit, venous, patch, and arterial groups respectively. Proximal dorsal nerve blockage, peripenile infiltration, and topical injection, although challenging, were sufficient local anesthesia for patients in the last 4 patient groups. A new method of crural blockade, however, was also required for optimal anesthesia of the cavernous nerve for implantation purposes.The anesthetic effects and postoperative results were satisfactory. Common immediate side effects included puncture of the corpus spongiosum or the deep dorsal vein as well as the innominate vessel, subcutaneous ecchymosis, transient palpitations, and acceptable low level of pain. There were no significant late complications. In the implant group, however, 6.1% of patients (10/165) had experienced pain over the perineum for 1 to 2 weeks postoperatively. Overall there were statistical differences in scoring between the 5 groups in which the implant group stood out when a visual analog scale of 100 mm was used. Topical nerve blockades proved to be reliable, simple, and safe, with minimal complications. They offer the advantages of less morbidity, reduced effects of anesthesia, protection of privacy, and a rapid return to preoperative daily activity.

Pelvic brachytherapy presents the anaesthetist with numerous challenges. Patients vary from highly distressed young adults, to the elderly with coincidental disease severe enough to preclude surgery. The painful radioactive implants remain in place for a number of days. Treatment in isolated rooms reduces radiation exposure to staff, but makes close postoperative monitoring difficult, so the analgesic technique should involve minimum risk to the patient. Although there is very little published evidence of specific analgesic techniques in this area, knowledge of these problems allows the anaesthetist to select appropriate systemic analgesics and regional blocks to provide safe and effective pain relief.
