Comparison of different methods of obturator nerve block in transurethral resection of bladder tumors: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the urinary system, and accounts for 3% of newly diagnosed tumors. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor plays a key role in treating bladder cancer, among which one of the most serious complications is bladder perforation caused by obturator nerve reflex. Obturator nerve reflex can be prevented by inducing obturator nerve block after lumbar anesthesia. However, No study so far has compared the inhibitory effect of different obturator nerve block approaches on intraoperative obturator nerve reflex and bladder perforation.

Method

In this study, we conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) of studies comparing the efficacy of different obturator nerve block approaches performed after lumbar anesthesia in operation.
