Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study assesses differences in the effects of pelvic plexus block and periprostatic nerve block among various anesthetic methods that reduce the pain caused by prostate biopsy.

Detailed Description

Recently, various types of local anesthetic methods have been attempted to reduce biopsy-related pain leading to changes in the type of anesthetic agents and site of injection. Of these anesthetics and combinations, pelvic plexus block and periprostatic nerve block seem to be the very effective way to control prostate biopsy-related pain. However, few studies have compared these two methods.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Visual analog scale-1

Time Frame: day 7~14

Visual analog scale (0-10) during anesthesia procedure higher values represent a worse outcome.

Visual analog scale-4

Time Frame: day 7~14

Visual analog scale (0-10) at 15 min after the biopsy procedure higher values represent a worse outcome.

Visual analog scale-2

Time Frame: day 7~14

Visual analog scale (0-10) at insertion of ultrasound probe higher values represent a worse outcome.

Visual analog scale-3

Time Frame: day 7~14

Visual analog scale (0-10) during biopsy procedure higher values represent a worse outcome.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Procedure time(day 7~14)
  • Rate of Complication(day 14~28)
