Abstract
This study evaluates the tolerability and efficacy of preoperative dorsal penile nerve block with Exparel plus bupivacaine hydrochloride in children>6 years old undergoing ambulatory urologic surgery. We demonstrate that the drug combination is well-tolerated, with appropriate analgesic efficacy in the recovery room as well as at 48-hour and 10-14 day follow-up periods. These preliminary data justify the need to perform a prospective, randomized trial comparing Exparel plus bupivacaine hydrochloride to other common local anesthetic regimens used in pediatric urologic surgery.
