Randomized Controlled TrialPrilocaine irrigation for pain relief after transurethral resection of the prostate.
This study aimed to examine the effect of postoperative addition of a local anesthetic agent to irrigation fluid on the alleviation or prevention of pain after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). ⋯ Prilocaine solution safely alleviated postoperative pain in the patients who underwent TURP. The use of continuous bladder irrigation with a diluted prilocaine solution consistently decreased the need for parenteral analgesics.
