What was measured

To determine whether the use of a CNB in patients undergoing penile prosthesis surgery results in a decreased length of hospital stay compared with patients having only general anesthesia.

Groups in this outcome

General Anesthesia and Caudal Nerve Block

If the patient is randomized to Group I, the patient will receive general anesthesia using Propofol titrated for induction. The airway will be secured thereafter. The caudal block will be performed as a bolus injection into the caudal canal in the OR by the attending anesthesiologist using 1% Ropivacaine (max 5mg/kg) + 1:400,000 Epinephrine + Decadron 10mg + Clonidine 100mcg. Patients will be continuously monitored by ASA guidelines. Anesthesia will be maintained with Sevoflurane 1.3-2.5% or Desflurane 2.5-8.5%, oxygen, air, nitrous oxide and Fentanyl as needed. At the completion of surgery, reversal of muscle relaxant with Glycopyrrolate 0.2mg IV for each 1mg IV of Neostigmine (max 5mg) will be given as indicated.

General Anesthesia Only

Patients in Group II will receive general anesthesia using Propofol titrated for induction. The airway will be secured thereafter. Anesthesia will be maintained with Sevoflurane 1.3-2.5% or Desflurane 2.5-8.5%, oxygen, air, nitrous oxide and fentanyl as needed. At the completion of surgery, reversal of muscle relaxant with Glycopyrrolate 0.2mg IV for each 1mg IV of neostigmine (max 5mg) will be given as indicated.
