Comparison of intrarectal heated lidocaine gel and periprostatic nerve block for pain control in transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial

Comparison of intrarectal heated lidocaine gel and periprostatic nerve block for pain control in transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial

Background: To investigate whether intrarectal local anesthesia with heated lidocaine gel (IRLAH) is non-inferior to periprostatic nerve block (PNB) for reducing pain in patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy. Methods: We performed a randomized controlled non-inferi...
