  Background: Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of caudal block in prostate biopsy but none has shown the efficacy of peri-anal nerve block. We aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of caudal and peri-anal nerve block in finger-guided prostate biopsy. Methods and materials: Patients undergoing prostate biopsy were randomised by single blinding into 2 groups. Group 1 were biopsy done under caudal block (20 ml of 1% lignocaine with adrenaline) and Group 2 were those done under peri-anal nerve block (20 ml of 1% lignocaine with adrenaline). Visual analogue pain measurement was used to assess the pains of the patient at different stages of the procedure. Cooperativeness was assessed by a trained observer and graded accordingly. Results: The groups were comparable in clinical details as demonstrated .. View More»
