Ultrasound-guided reversed dorsal penile nerve block versus standard dorsal penile nerve block for pediatric circumcision

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional trial compares an ultrasound-guided reversed dorsal penile nerve block (RUSDPNB) with the standard landmark-based dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) in males younger than 18 undergoing circumcision. Participants receive general anesthesia plus one of the two nerve block techniques before surgery. Investigators will record intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumption, pain scores in the immediate postoperative period, and local complications such as hematoma or injection-related injury. The goal is to determine whether ultrasound guidance improves analgesia and lowers opioid requirements and complication rates versus the traditional technique.
