Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of obturator nerve block combined with spinal anaesthesia for prevention of adductormuscle spasm and its associated complications during transurethral resection of bladder tumours located at its lateral and inferolateral wall.Study design: A prospective study. Setting: At AFIU Rawalpindi. Period: From January 2005 to December 2006. Material and methodFifty patients who had tumours at their lateral / inferolateral bladder wall of physical status ASA I - IV received spinal anaesthesia at 3r d or4l h lumbar space followed by obturator nerve block with a view to preventing adductor jerk during resection of tumour. Results: There wascomplete suppression of adductor jerk in 45 (90%) patients and surgery was completed smoothly. Two patients (4%) had mild adductorjerk and additional sedation was required. The block failed to work in 3 (6%) cases and required conversion to general anaesthesia. Thusthe procedure was successful in 94% (complete and partial suppression of jerk. Conclusion: We conclude that spinal anaesthesiacombined with obturator nerve block is an effective technique for preventing adductor jerk during TUR-BT, thus avoiding intra-operative andpost operative complication.

Introduction and aim of the study : Spinal anaesthesia for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) does not prevent unintended stimulation of the obturator nerve when electro resection is performed on the lateral and Postero-lateral wall of the bladder. It results in muscle contraction of the adductor muscles of the thigh, which may lead to perforation of bladder wall with the resectoscope loop. The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of obturator nerve block by inguinal and transvesical approach. Materials and Methods: A prospective experimental study was done in the department of Urology Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period of November 2016 to April 2018. Total 60 Patients were included for the study as per inclusion and exclusion Criteria. Patients were than allocated purposively into two groups by simple random sampling. Group A consisted of 30 patients where obturator nerve block (ONB) was done by transvesical approach and Group B also consisted of 30 patients where ONB was done by inguinal approach. Results: In the present study, the baseline characteristics of the patients in Group-A and Group-B were almost similar having no statistically significant difference. Obturator jerk more frequently occurred in group-B, in 13 (56.37%) patients following TURBT compared to Group-A, where 05(16.67%) patients developed obturator jerk. The intergroup difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). In case of 26 (86.67%) patients tumour was completely resectable in group-A, while in 21 (70.00%) patients of Group- B tumour was completely resectable. This was not a statistically significant difference (P>0.05). There was no incidence of bladder wall perforation in group-A, wherears this complication occurred in 02 (06.67%) cases of Group-B (p>0.05). Mean operative time in Group-A and group-B is 50.46 (±11.64) and 59.10 (±15.83) respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: We conclude that transvesical approach is better in case of Jerk elimination and Less Procedure related time than inguinal approach during TURBT Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 23, No. 2, July 2020 p.118-123
