- Prostate CancerRobotic ProstatectomyFoley Catheter Discomfort
- Interventions
- Drug: Saline
- Registration Number
- NCT01565512
- Lead Sponsor
- Columbia University
- Brief Summary
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.
- Detailed Description
Patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) will be randomized in a double-blind placebo controlled manner to undergo penile ring block injection at the time of skin incision closure. A visual analog scale (VAS) based questionnaire including newly developed foley discomfort scores will be administered at various time points post-operatively.
