Comparison of the effects of ring block and dorsal penile nerve block on parental satisfaction for circumcision operation in children: randomized controlled trial

Topic overview

Key takeaways

• Ring block and dorsal penile nerve block provide equivalent parental satisfaction for pediatric circumcision procedures.
• Both regional anesthesia techniques demonstrate similar analgesic efficacy and postoperative pain control in children.
• Parental satisfaction scores were comparable across pre-anesthesia, post-anesthesia, and hospital team parameters for both blocks.
• Ring block may address theoretical concerns about inadequate ventral penile shaft coverage with dorsal penile nerve block alone.
• Choice between ring block and DPNB can be based on provider preference rather than expected differences in parent satisfaction.
