PURPOSE: We assessed the effect of intraoperative @entity1341 infiltration into the neurovascular bundle of the prostatic nerve on @entity282 and @entity1 outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 40 American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I to III @entity1 undergoing transvesical prostatectomy. Following surgical resection of the prostate the neurovascular bundle of the prostatic nerve was infiltrated with either 10 ml. @entity1341 0.5% or saline. @entity282 intensity was assessed using a @entity1 generated 100 mm. visual analog scale and a @entity1 controlled analgesia device. Additional analgesic requirements, time to ambulation, length of hospitalization and return to normal activity were also recorded. RESULTS: There were no differences in visual analog scale for @entity158 , @entity1 controlled analgesia demands or actual @entity1286 delivered. Similarly, saline versus @entity1341 infiltration did not influence ambulation time (21.3 +/- 2.7 versus 25.0 +/- 11.8 hours, respectively), length of hospitalization (7.06 +/- 0.8 versus 7.11 +/- 0.6 days, respectively), return to normal activity (14.4 +/- 8.8 versus 14.2 +/- 8.2 days, respectively) or @entity1 satisfaction. On postoperative days 1 and 2 more @entity1 in the saline treatment group requested additional oral analgesia compared to the @entity1341 treatment group. However, no statistical difference was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS: Following transvesical prostatectomy, prostatic nerve blockade has no beneficial effects on @entity282 or @entity1 outcome.

@entity1341 infiltration into the neurovascular bundle of the prostatic nerve does not improve XXXX or recovery following transvesical prostatectomy.
