Dorsal Penile Block for Post-Robotic Prostatectomy Foley Discomfort

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer, Robotic Prostatectomy, Foley Catheter Discomfort

In brief

The indwelling urethral foley is a major source of discomfort following radical prostatectomy. Our hypothesis is that intra-operative dorsal penile nerve block with bupivacaine may decrease immediate post-operative foley discomfort.
