It is the second most frequent genitourinary tumor. (1) spinal anesthesia is the technique of choice for Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), since it enables early perception of symptoms caused by over hydration, transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome, and bladder perforation. (2)Since the long-sufferings ar diagnosed with bladder cancer, aged(a) 65 and over, due to long-term smoking, these perseverings have underlying pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease and diabetes(3,4) ,so choosing ordinary anesthesia for preventing complications such as Obturator typeface stimulant and bladder perforation is a significant lay on the line factor for this mentioned collection.Although spinal anesthesia provides optimal anesthesia, pelvic floor relaxat ion and perineal laxity, arrhythmic of Obturator tenderness motor would not be prevented by spinal anesthesia(5).So for the urologic surgeries, Obturator pith stuff (ONB) for suppressing the Obturator reflex during transurethral resection of lateral bladder fence has been prevalently used(6) .in the case of take rousing of resectors, in that respect would be a sudden , tempestuous adductor muscle contraction.This is potenti eithery risky, which can cause an increase in the risk of serious complications for example Bladder wall perforation, incomplete tumor resection, watercraft laceration, and Obturator hematomas.(7,8,9) Although this procedure is not morbidity-free, the reports of potential complications argon fewer. (10 ,11,12) While leech is common, bladder perforation is perhaps one of the scariest complications with an incidence of 0.9% to 5%. (12,13) the most important symptoms are disability in bladder distension, abdominal distension and tachycardia. (14)Significan t bladder perforation during TURBT for various reasons should be concerned. First, if prior to completion of resection, the perforation would be discovered, retained cancer in the bladder would be the consequence of such imposed resolution of surgery. Second, cancer cells can distribute by means of the opening in the detrusor, and the risk of pelvic or remote disease recurrence would be increased. And the last one, immediate intravesical chemotherapy after TURBT for lessening the risk of recurrence is recommended by the updated European Association of Urology and American Urological Association guidelines. (15) Since Obturator nerve (ON) stimulation during resection of tumors is located in the inferior portion of the bladder and lateral wall of the urinary bladder would Increase the risk of bladder rupture. (14)There are different strategic options for avoiding these complications during transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) such as adopting worldwide anesthesia with m uscle relaxants, lessening the intensity of the current of the resectoscope, using laser resistors, Obturator nerve full stopade (ONB), etc. Selective ONB along with regional anesthesia may be efficient to avert adductor spasm (16,17)As few studies adopted Obturator nerve block in Preventing Adductor muscle Contraction, which sustain this method was effective. (18,19) This double-blind, randomized study was undertaken to investigate further and provide more(prenominal) accurate results close to Spinal anesthesia combined with Obturator nerve block in Preventing Adductor muscle Contraction and bladder perforation during TUR-BT.Material and method after(prenominal) the approval of the Guilan university of medical science ethics committees and obtaining written apprised consent, 30 uncomplainings aged between 60-85 years belonging to ASA physical post III IV, having inferolateral tumors of the bladder who were scheduled for transurethral resection of bladder tumor were divide d into spinal anesthesia (SP) and spinal anesthesia combined with Obturator nerve block (SOB).The exclusion criteria included, patient refusal, advanced cardiac disease, allergy to local anesthetics, pregnancy, patients on anticoagulants or anti-platelet drugs, neurological diseases affecting the central nervous system. In the beginning(a) collection of patients, Spinal anesthesia was performed at L4-L5 interspace with the patients in the sitting eyeshot using a 25- gauge plague and 2.5cc of 0.5% Marcaine was injected then the patients were placed in the Trendelenburg position at an angle of 15-for 5 or 10 minutes. After being sure ab turn out the right amount of anesthesia, the patients were placed in a lithotomy position and Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor was carried out. In the second assembly after placing the patients under the same method of spinal anesthesia, Obturator nerve block was performed using the clear upical get in the supine position by an expe rienced anesthesiologist. For Obturator nerve block, the initial insertion point was determined 1-2 cm caudally and 1-2 cm lateral to the pubic tubercle. A 22-gauge 10-cm nerve stimulator selectle was inserted perpendicular from the puncture site in a leanly median direction until the tip of the needle made contact with the inferior cast of the superior pubic ramus and then the needle was redirected further lateral and caudal to be put in the Obturator-channel. The obturator nerve is located 2 to 3 cm of the initial point of contact with the pubic ramus. Nerve stimulation delivered a constant current with a frequency of 1 Hz and a current of 1mA which is maintained throughout the stimulation. After Twitching in the tight adductor muscles, amperage was reduced and the stimulation needle advanced towards the nerve until the first contraction in the adductor muscles with electrical stimulation of (0.3-0.4 mA) occurred. thence after aspiration (to confirm the needle is not in the v essel) 15cc 1% Lidocaine was injected and the patients were placed in the lithotomy position and Transurethral resection of the bladder tumor started. We monitored NIBP, pulse, Spo2, ECG intraoperatively and the patient was observed specially for adductor spasm, bladder perforation during TURBT in both groups.FindingsThe subjects of the both groups were comparable with respect to age, sex ratio, location of tumor, ASA class. Since the patients were diagnosed with bladder cancer, aged 65 and over, due to long-term smoking, suffer underlying pulmonary diseases, coronary artery diseases and diabetes, so for preventing complications such as Obturator nerve stimulation and bladder perforation, General anesthesia could not be used. Fishers exact test demonstrated that, thither is no significant correlation between sex, Patient Age Group, arrangement of bladder tumor, ASA class in the dickens mentioned groups of patients suffering from bladder tumor. (table1). as yet saccade and sawbon ess felicity with patients status in two groups were statistically significant.(P=0. 006) (table1). The obturator nerve block was done in two patients of the spinal anesthesia (SA) group due to severe adductor muscle jerking and severe underlying diseases (asthma or a history of cardiovascular disease). collect to severe adductor muscle jerking and not having underlying diseases, general anesthesia was done in two other patients. In trey patients in the spinal anesthesia group (SA) leg jerking was slight and during cauterization the problem was resolved by controlling the leg movement.Also, there was no significant correlation between using general anesthesia due to ineffectiveness of regional anesthesia in two groups (P=0.1). (Table 1) interventionThe endpoints of the current study were to investigate the effectiveness of Obturator nerve block in preventing the Adductor spasms and also to investigate surgeon merriment. Spinal anesthesia combined with Obturator nerve block in t he prevention of adductor contraction and its associate complications during TUR-BT is effective. Spinal anesthesia (SA) combined with Obturator nerve block (SOB) would increase surgeon satisfaction during TURBT surgical procedures. In a study done by Patel et al., he reported that Adductor spasm caused bladder perforation in 2 TUR-BT patients, which spinal anesthesia was utilise and one patient was in the need of emergency laparotomy. (19) Interestingly, in our study there was no bladder perforation, which is considered as a result of being very precise and careful about the patients Obturator spasm and in the case of observing any sign of spasms the patient s position was changed to Supine and after blocking the Obturator nerve the patient would be placed to the previous Lithotomy position.The obturator nerve block can be performed using various methods and techniques. And in our study Obturator nerve block was carried out using the technique described by Labat because the proxi mal nerve would be blocked and blocking was more effective compared to the inguinal nerve blocking. It should be mentioned that in our study there was no bladder perforation, which can be considered as a result of cautious and meticulous monitoring during the surgery. In a study which TURBT was performed on 50 patients, the patients were divided into two groups, The first group of 25 patients underwent spinal anesthesia, and the second group of 25 patients underwent spinal anesthesia (SA) combined with Obturator nerve block (SOB). In the (SA) group, almost all the patients of group (SA) suffered contraction of the adductor muscles and disturbed the surgeon. But in the spinal anesthesia (SA) combined with Obturator nerve block (SOB) group contraction of the adductor muscles did not occur in most patients. Bladder perforation occurred in two patients in the spinal anesthesia (SA) which lead to Emergency laparoscopic surgery in one patient. The results of the study demonstrated that Ob turator nerve blockage is an effective room to prevent adductor muscle spasms and its related complications in patients who are undergoing TUR-BT which is interchangeable to our study.(19) In another study which bladder tumor resection was done on 60 patients aged 18_80 years old with ASA I III ,30 patients were randomized into the spinal anesthesia group (SA) and 30 patients were randomized into the spinal anesthesia (SA) combined with Obturator nerve block (SOB) group. The regional anesthesia was done with 5cc of Levobupivacaine and 5 cc of 0.5% Nacl When the level of sensory block reached T10, adductor muscle spasms were save during the surgery.The frequency of adductor muscle spasms and the surgeon satisfactory were assessed. Surgeon satisfaction in the spinal anesthesia (SA) combined with Obturator nerve block (SOB) group compared to the spinal anesthesia (SA) was significantly higher (POne of the limitations of our study was a relatively small sample sizing, caution needs to be applied concerning the generalizability of the research findings and further comprehensive work with larger sample size is suggested.The conclusion of this study showed that Obturator nerve blockage is effective in preventing adductor muscle contractions and its related complications during TURBT surgery and also using spinal anesthesia (SA) combined with Obturator nerve block (SOB) during TURBT surgical procedures would increase the surgeon satisfaction.P value(Number) % ofSpinal anesthesia and obturator nerve block(Number) % of spinal anesthesiaVariablesP=0.8380%(n=12)86.7%( 13)Tumor location6.7%(n=1)6.7%( 1)13.3%(n=2)6.7%( 1)P=16.7%(1)6.7%ASA class53.3%(8)53.3%(8)40%(6)30%(6)P=0.006100%(15)53.3%(8)Surgeons satisfaction0%46.7%(7)P=0.0060%(0)46.7%(7)Movement during operation100%(15)53.3%(8)P=0.4830%(0)13.3%(2)General anesthesia100%(15)86.7%(13)REFERENCESAcute T, Murakami, J, Yoshinaga A.
