S-ESP and Ring Block in Circümcision Surgery (S-ESP: Sacral Erectör Spinae Plane Block).

Plain-language summary

Although it is not known exactly when and where circumcision was first performed, it is claimed that it was first performed by the Egyptians, according to various beliefs and traditions. Circumcision is the surgical removal of the skin surrounding the glans penis in pediatric male patients and is the most commonly performed surgery in boys (4). Because the foreskin is sensitive and the pain threshold is low, patients experience severe pain in the postoperative period. Various analgesic methods have been developed to reduce this pain. Sacral surgery has started to be used in adult patients in recent years, but there is not enough information about its application in pediatric patients. Sacral erector spinae plane block is on the agenda. While sacral erectör spinae plane block was first applied in gender reassignment and pilonidal sinus surgery in adults, it was also applied to a small extent in hypospadias and anoplasty surgery in pediatric patients. In some studies, circumcision surgery involves the root and distal parts of the penis. It has been emphasized that ring blocks applied with anesthesia also have an analgesic effect. Our aim in this study was to compare the effect of S-ESPB and ring block on postoperative Face, Legs, Movement, Crying, Avocative Behavioral Scale pain scores in pediatric patients undergoing circumcision surgery and to compare the number of patients who required rescue analgesia, the time until the first rescue analgesia, possible complications, and parental satisfaction (a Likert scale will be used). In this study, we found that sacral erectör spinae plane block is different from the ring block applied in routine practice in circumcision surgery. We think that postoperative analgesic effectiveness will be higher. Our aim in this study was to compare the effect of sacral erectör spinae plane block and ring block on postoperative Face, Legs, Movement, Crying, Avocative Behavioral Scale pain score in pediatric patients undergoing circumcision surgery and to compare the number of patients who required rescue analgesia secondarily, the time until the first rescue analgesia, possible complications and parental satisfaction (Likert scale will be used).
